![]() It lightened some of the dark moments of the book, and endeared the characters to the listener. Haywood didn’t go for the easy joke, but used tricks of timing and dialogue. Yet, my favorite aspect of the book was the wry, subtle humor. The scenes just popped in your head and kept your heart pounding. ![]() ![]() Haywood’s action scenes were crisp, well choreographed and highly visual. His characters may have been built on existing action hero tropes, but those tropes exist for a reason. I like that he didn’t use existing historical figures but created his own characters from different timelines and created them well. I loved the premise of this novel, Haywood isn’t the first to use the idea historical extractions, hell, Bill and Ted did it to help pass a high school class, but Haywood adds enough of his own little touches to make it work. ![]()
