I think I have had enough of Tim Powers after reading The Anubis Gates.
It began brilliantly and until we ended up in the 17th century, I still
thought it would continue in a similar way but there was far too much
nonsensical physical and magical violence that was gratuitous and
fortuitous being unnecessary for plot nor character attributes.
