(2) YA First in a projected trilogy, this plot-driven time-travel fantasy compensates for its unremarkable prose with sheer copiousness--in wintry descriptions of its setting and allusions to multiple mythologies. Fisher's sentences are short, propulsive, and transparent, emphasizing the visual. The story is amply punctuated with narrow-escape scenes and hints at thinking about how acts of the present impinge on the future.
