The result is that while the individual chapters are entertaining, the book is strangely less than the sum of its parts and the author's structure is too evident throughout. Second books are notoriously tricky things though and Amsterdam remains an author to watch out for.

Fans of the more magical end of the fiction spectrum would be well advised to check out the terrific [[The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey]], or [[The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern]]. And if you haven't read [[The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger]] yet, what are you waiting for?
