![]() ![]() It's at first a bit jarring, since you also get introduced to a lot of the characters and nearly each chapter ends with a cliffhanger. Sometimes you are in Oxford 2060, other times you are in 1940 or 1945 or somewhere in between. The plot of this book follows several characters and as such jumps back and forth in time a lot. Personally, I think I preferred Doomsday Book better, but this was still enjoyable. The split means you have to read both to get the whole picture, but it is an interesting novel of time travel with some good characters in an fascinating time period. It ends on a positive note, but the following novel, All Clear, takes that and pushes through to the final resolution. In the first novel, Blackout, we get introduced to all the characters and their perilous situation. This book started very tense, though the pay off was worth it. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind splitting them (I'm fine reading really long novels), but that's all right. ![]() ![]() I decided to review them together since each is incomplete without the other. Blackout and All Clear are a two part series by Connie Willis of time travelers back to London at the time of the Blitz, around 1940. ![]()
