Wow. This won a Hugo? It sure wouldn't in today's SF world...

As far as I'm concerned, this book was a mess. It presents an interesting idea of time war and time travelers, makes a "locked room" mystery out of it, and tries to posit and discuss the philosophical issues it implies. What I got was a mess of characters that were difficult to keep straight, a cool idea shunted to the sidelines, and weird gaps in the narrative.

The book certainly wasn't trash, but frankly I was glad it was as short as it was.

Don't know why this one won all those awards. It is so faux-chivalric, weird and confusing. . .
