Average rating3.5
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 liked the first book in this series and was interested on Anthony's take on death. But he just didn't seem to have much to say on time. It too me forever to wade through it and when it finished I just don't have much to say. It isn't horrible but it wasn't all that great either.
