The time jumps were a bit annoying, but otherwise this is a great story. The start of the story sets up the world, and the greater universe, plus some background on a war. And the middle is more of the story, ending isn't shocking or unexpected (for the most part). The middle is also where a lot of the time jumps take place.
There are also one or two - too many people to keep track of, this isn't too bad, it is something to be aware of thou.
With some of these type of stories were there is a lot of people, I think I am going to start writing down names and who they are (at very least). That way I just look at my list and go - oh that is who X is.

Still this story is really good, it's a fun story, with just some hints of darkness. I'm giving it a 4 out of 5, it is a story I would like to read again.

So, yeah, I gave Lovecraft another try - and I still just find it hard to read. I know H.P. Lovecraft is a master at horror. But horror isn't my first or even my fourteenth choice when it comes to something to read. I had to give it another chance thou, because that is only fair, and it's not for me. And the English is maybe old/dated - a lot of the word I had to look up what they meant - and that takes away something from the flow of the story.

H.P. Lovecraft is just not for me.

I know H.P. Lovecraft is considered a master of horror, and has created some of the best horror/fiction there is. But I just find these type of stories hard to read.
I thought I would give it one more try, but so far I'm just a few pages in and already having a hard time with it. I think the wording is just dated enough that I just have a hard time with it.

Good story, Was this ever made into a movie, or tv show? It seems like it should be.... but I don't recall it anywhere.

4 out of 5 stars.

This was a really good short story, lots to take in. A little on the fantasy side of science-fiction, but still a really good story. This get a solid 4 out of 5 stars from me.

Overall this is a good story, should be a good quick read for anyone that reads a lot. I'll give it a 3 out 5 stars.
