review 1: The Magnus Flyte series is a PURE delight. It's like the modern-day equivalent of The Princess Bride, packed with something for everyone - romance, history, adventure, suspense, sex (like, whoa), hilarity, and amusing characters (even the villains are enjoyable). Plus, talk about smart: It's incredible, how much history, science, and music they managed to pack into this book, and in ways that were never boring (WARNING: If you're the type who often likes to fall down the Wikipedia rabbit hole of research, this book is going to be your Kryptonite). I loved every page of both this book and its predecessor, City of Dark Magic.
review 2: I wasn't looking for time travel, and yet I found it, or it found me, in the City of Lost Dreams. I give the sequel 5 stars beca... moreuse "Magnus Flyte" has settled into her style and makes it work. Usually I don't like slightly hip, slightly arch, slightly ironic tones, but this one works; you come to care about the characters, even the immortal time-traveling Little Person who doesn't want to care about anyone because they'll only grow old and die. Austrians might squirm at the things Flyte says about their country, but everyone else will have a grand time visiting Vienna without any of the hassles of airport security and jet lag. My only complaint is the last couple of pages, but how do you end a paradox? Enjoy this romp through space, time and Beethoven, don't think too much about the logic of it, and have a grand time. less
