The gathering forces of the Dark Powers threaten the world of man. The legions of Faery, aided by trolls, demons, and the Wild Hunt itself, are poised to overthrow the Realms of Light. Holger Carlsen, a bemused and puzzled twentieth-century man mysteriously snatched out of time, finds himself the key figure in the conflict. Arrayed against him are the dragons, giants, and elfin warriors of the armies of Chaos and the beautiful sorceress Morgan le Fay.

The Perfect Pairing of Story and Storyteller
Revisado: 10-15-20
“Three Hearts and Three Lions” was my first experience of Poul Anderson as well as of Bronson Pinchot. I was astonished. The book itself is unashamedly fantastical, filled to the brim with tropes, though they work out to the benefit of the story. The characters aren’t shallow but aren’t too fleshed-out either.
Pinchot’s narration blew beyond what I thought was possible! Many narrators read through books in a plain, calm, perhaps dull, manner. Pinchot dives in with enthusiasm, giving distinct personality to each character’s voice and making every detail feel exciting.

In a not-too-distant future that is not quite ours, there has been a major scientific breakthrough. It is a way to open windows into the past, permitting historical researchers to view, but not participate, in the events of the past.
In one of the most powerful and thought-provoking novels of his remarkable career, Orson Scott Card interweaves a compelling portrait of Christopher Columbus with the story of a future scientist who believes she can alter human history from a tragedy of bloodshed and brutality to a world filled with hope and healing.

Great, Has Quite a Few Narrators
Revisado: 09-25-20
This book has a very slow beginning. I think that this tends to be the case among many great stories, but this one doesn’t really offer much to cling to until hours into the story. It also has a large amount of buildup with a relatively short-but-satisfying payoff. What is very good about this book is that it encourages challenging thoughts on some philosophical topics and that the science of the time-travel is mind-bending and fascinating.
All of the narrators are quite enjoyable. Frustratingly, some of them speak at different speeds to the others, which makes the experience inconsistent. I altered the speed at times to adjust.
