Bearing an Hourglass by Piers Anthony

2.0

I liked this one, but not as much as On a Pale Horse, the first book of the series. There were some crazy other-worldly tangents when all I really wanted to do was stay on Earth. This book was also a little confusing because Chronos lives and does everything backwards. This resulted in the president of my company as well as another co-worker coming by to ask me if my head hurt, because I was reading with my hand held up on my furrowed forehead, trying to make sense of the fact that Chronos was meeting Thanatos for the first time, but to Thanatos, Chronos was an old friend, and that Thanatos was teaching Chronos stuff that Chronos had taught him 40 years ago. Yes, that sentence was super long on purpose.
