When life seems pointless to Norton, he accepts the position of Incarnation of Time. With the other incarnations—Death, Fate, War, and Nature already distracting him, Satan springs a cunning trap. Science fiction/fantasy legend Piers Anthony combines a gripping plot with a serious and thought-providing study of good and evil. Bearing an Hourglass is a fascinating, richly imagined tale that reaches beyond the normal science fiction/fantasy realm.

Interesting science on living life backwards in time and yet somehow it's a slow plot.
I could not finish this one. The amount of filler and just boring dialogue was unbearable. The sexist nature of Norton's opinions on women were just horrible as well. If I wanted to read a book about a man calling women cows or fat every chapter I would read a dude bro book.
Such a shame because the first book in this series was so great.
