The Many-Coloured Land by Julian May
2.0
This has sci-fi, this has fantasy, this has time-travel, faeries, psi-powers, alien tech and pre-historic animals so this is a book that, on concept, I should love. Sadly I didn't really enjoy it. It's been a while since last I had such a dissonant experience reading a book, constantly finding the ideas interesting and all the while being bored by the narrative itself.
The plot is simple, the characters have a good backbone but not enough to make me care a lot, the writing is not bad but lacks excellence. It's an OK book that feels like it could have been great.
