Fair Coin by E.C. Myers
May. 1st, 2012 09:20 amI'll admit that there are a couple of tropes that capture my imagination. I'm a sucker for a hero overcoming odds. I love the villain reversal into someone worthwhile. And, here's a deep one...
I like time travel and multiple realities.

Done wrong, this can be a real horrible cliche, sort of a surprise reveal of an evil twin at the wrong moment. Done right, and you get awesome stories. Like Back to the Future. Or Fair Coin.
E. C. Myers first published novel landed on the io9 summer reading list and was called pure crack in a review there. Well, yeah. The only reason I didn't finish the book in one sitting was that I had to go to a meeting. I looked up and like 3 hours had passed, and I was thrilled I hadn't noticed.
