And thus ends my string of time-travel-to-before-1900 novels. This one was really good, though, and refreshingly didn't involve Victorian New York (instead, mainly 1897 Vienna).
The story of what happens when a man travels to 1897 Vienna and meets his time-traveling father (much younger than he is), individuals who may or may not be his grandparents, Sigmund Freud and other real figures, this book embraces head-on worries about changing history and temporal paradoxes, yet it also doesn't dwell too much on the details. Instead, coincidences and destiny prevail, and the characters seem real and act as irrationally as you'd want real people to act in such strange circumstances. Edwards weaves a complex family history, and it all fits together by the end.

I can't believe they spoiled it in the title!
Actually, this wasn't all that bad. Unfortunately, you really have to know what's going on in Marvel Comics these days (especially the Civil War stuff) to follow the intrigue. (I've read bits of it, and I'm not a reader of Captain America either.)
However, the book was prettily drawn and well-paced. I got caught up in "what happens next" and occasionally forgot that it was super-hero stuff written for fanboys already in the know. I'm going to read the next collection to see how things progress. ...less
