An Argumentation of Historians

I first became aware of this series back when only the first couple of novels were out. I was skeptical because it sounded like a rip-off of Connie Willis' Oxford Time Travel series, which I have really enjoyed. I was pleasantly surprised; the Chronicles of St. Mary's are very much their own thing, and I found the first two novels enjoyable, if perhaps a bit lightweight.

But over time, the series has really developed a depth and heft in terms of character development and worldbuilding. Any time a new novel or short fiction work comes out, it's an instant read for me.

This is another solid entry in the series, which is snarkier and darker than the Willis series. People with strong history backgrounds have expressed issues with the accuracy of some of the volumes, but the books work for me. An entertaining and engrossing read, but probably not a good starting point for those new to the series.
