This story was not only about time travel, done with incantations, but about civil, societal norms and issues concerning group vs individual rights and freedoms. The plot serves to highlight and exemplify the participants conflicts with group, government, standards and expectations as opposed to the characters' hopes and desires.
Well written and quickly read, the story only slows as the author highlights the historical significance of battles being fought and won or lost. The result is a remarkably evenhanded description of two apparently conflicting systems of government. Try it, it'll probably cause you to think.
Ok, they are not allowing me to send my review as it does it have the mandated, arbitrary number of characters, read the book and you'll understand too much authority.
