I just finished reading Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus by Orson Scott Card last night. This is my second time reading this book. I would warn that if you're not mature or don't like novels that'll make you think, this book may not be for you. That being said, it was definitely for me.

Per usual, Card fleshed out his characters to the point of making them seem real and tangible - one of my favorite attributes of his writing. There's nothing quite like relating to people who never have and never will exist.

I found that this book flowed nicely, and took perspective breaks regularly enough to to keep the reader wanting more but far enough apart to be satisfying. The story itself was solid, the interactions human, and the history (yes, history) had sources. Not being a historian, I can't say how accurate it was but it all seems plausible and, again, there were sources.

This book's genre would cross between historical fiction, science fiction, and time travel. It's like nothing I've ever read before, and remains a favorite.
