Review: A lot of great stuff, but a teensy bit flawed
Rating: 3 out of 5

Interesting concept and characters. A muddled middle having to do with apparently real Greek gods residing in the midst of 14th C. religious fanaticism (let's go burn the witch!) kept me from giving this book four stars. I'd like it better if the the myths stuck with the Swiss past. Witches are fine, an evil sybil just didn't work for me.I still recommend it for readers of fantasy and time travel stories wrapped into a detailed picture of the time of the Swiss Wilhelm Tell. The addition of an appendix of the Swiss phrases used in the book was a nice touch, although most of it was quite clear from context.
