    Just not entertaining
  

*by N***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 23 February 2022*

This is way out there sci-fi. It has a number of pioneering sci-fi concepts - a time war, everyone lives in a place outside time with the ability to change time. Characters muse as to the meaning of it all, who's going to win, are we losing? where are our orders coming from? why are we fighting it? can we make peace?Sounds great doesn't it? It's not.Rather than any real character development, the majority of the text is filled with simple descriptions of what all the characters are doing at any one time e.g. Sid was sitting in a corner, singing to himself, others were sitting at the bar drinking - boring and not taking the plot anywhere. The plot seems paper thin and doesn't really go anywhere just meanders along without any real focus. It's all set in one room and is often hard to follow anyway.It just isn't entertaining.I can only imagine it won the Hugo for it's ground-breaking concepts, because as a story, it's a dud.

    Another great Leiber creation
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 4 June 2013*

I admit that Fritz Leiber is one of my favourite authors, but at the same time his works are a bit difficult to comprehend at times. I found myself rereading parts of the book again and again, which is not helped by the fact that particular explanations about some plot elements are deferred until a bit later from the time you first encounter.I am not sure if I'd put this on the same level as Gather Darkness, but it's still a great book which I'd recommend in a heartbeat.

    FRITZ LEIBER AT HIS WORST
  

*by E***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 24 May 2021*

Normally he writes wonderfully  with a light humorous touch . In this one he seems to have delved deep into his ancestral German elephantine sense of humour. Whatever interesting ideas it contains are trodden down and flattened by this.
