Anachronist - by Andrew Hastie

Quite a long book, but I got through it fairly quickly. Although it is “fantasy”, of which I am normally wary, I still found it was quite compelling. It is a complex story, compounded with temporal paradoxes and multiple timelines. The characters are well drawn and, whilst I may not have empathised with Josh, I did understand him.
I discovered that the book is the first in a series of five [?]. The result of this is the worst possible ending for a book. The story was winding down nicely, with loose ends being tidied. Then come the 3 terrible words: “To Be Continued …”
I may give in and read more books in the series. We’ll see.
