Summary
History isn’t what you think it is. It’s been rewritten to remove all the magic. Together, two people decide to put things right. A new novel of magic, history, and true love from Simon R. Green.
When they fall in love, it’s magic!
History can change and has changed. Magic was and is real.
Once upon a time, there was a forgotten era of magic and monster. But the remnants—and all memory—of the old world have been replaced by the sane, the scientific, and the rational. But sometimes the magical past isn’t content to stay past. That’s where Jack Damian comes in. It’s his joy to protect our present from the supernatural remnants of an earlier time, a different history. It’s his job to make the past safe.
Jack is called to the Tate Museum, where dozens of people have disappeared beneath the surface of a painting. While investigating, he finds himself smitten with a mysterious art expert Amanda Fielding. But Amanda has plans of her own, and soon the two are traveling through time—back to the Roman Empire and then forward through history, from King Arthur’s court to Sherwood Forest. As they explore histories past as written and overwritten, the balance of magic and science shifts, and the choices the two make could change the world forever.

Oh, for F***s sake
The reader was okay. As can happen, limited by the content. The female voices ended up being two: one for a particular character; another for any other female characters. It's not the end of the world, but was a bit irritating. The heroes: quite stereotypical accents. Overall: a decent reader, though not great.
The story: I was walking a lot whilst listening to this. After a while I noticed I was, periodically, muttering out loud the phrase "Oh, for F***s sake". Too many stereotypical moments. Too many long sequences with almost an ex deus machina punctuations. Toom any predictable bits. Would hvebeen good to read it when I was 11; less good for older readers.

Nice intertwining of old and new
Love the way the legends are woven into today's events. The narrator is likeable and tells the story well. Would have been even better though, if the women's voices were actually performed by a female narrator.
