Mitchell is not in top form in his latest novel, but he does score points on his multi-layered character, Dr. Marinus. The body-to-body lifetime leaps for the "atemporals" recalls the smooth overlay of the life-after-life motif that worked so well in Cloud Atlas (still my favorite novel). This novel, however, makes for some difficult reading at times. What-the-hell-is-going-on? complicates the already complex plot that is not altogether satisfying. A second reading may help to bring clarity to the confusion produced by the time jumps into the future where Holly Sykes' character becomes somewhat flat: a blur receding into the background of the out-of-time 'war'. Still, a worthwhile read but it takes effort to sort out the characterology of who's who when. And where.
