Shymsal's Reviews > The Interminables

3.5. I liked the premise and the world building. I loved the entirity of Istvan (a ghost embodying not only itself but all of the Great War? Terrifying and awe-inspiring) and Edmund's magic (time magic is always interesting). Edmund was a mostly good man who made a terrible mistake to gain power and tried his damnedest not to hurt too many while helping as many as he could. Istvan was incredible that despite his power (the violence, the pain, the ferocity) he was a doctor always - helping others, relieving pain his first priority, even though he was sickened by his methods.

I think I would have liked this novel more if something in the way it was told didn't push me back a step. (view spoiler)[And if Grace had never been alive in it. (hide spoiler)] No matter what, though, I would like to see more if there ever is more.
