Changes

And therein lies my issues with this book – not a sequel to ''The Empire of Time'' but a direct continuation, ''The Ocean of Time'' does not give the reader a chance to readjust to this (to steal a phrase from Dr Who), ''timey wimey, wibbly wobbly'' world, but plunges the reader straight back into the plot, and before they have a chance to catch their breath, introduces new, even more complicated plot elements! I spent a lot of time flicking back and forth between the plot and the character glossary at the start, which does take someone out of the action somewhat. However, I do believe that I was reading the book wrong – it looks like ''The Empire of Time'', ''The Ocean of Time'' and forthcoming third book ''The Master of Time'' are intended to be read as one huge novel – and I can see this working far better, with the plot flowing seamlessly and the complications lessened. Perhaps I'll give the whole series a read then, and come out a little less confused! Many thanks to the publishers for the copy. We also have a review of [[The Empire of Time by David Wingrove]].

For further reading , I would recommend [[Snowpiercer Vol.1 - The Escape by Jacques Lob and Jean-Marc Rochette]]. A fantastic Sci-Fi story in Graphic Novel film (also adapted into a recent and underrated film), Snowpiercer is, much like ''The Ocean of Time'', action -packed and exciting – but the slower pace allows the reader to take in the detail of the intriguing world built on the train.
