It's nice when the author can set forth some clues that you can follow along with the characters to try and figure out. The main mystery of the story wasn't as revealed as I would have liked it.

Meyer likes his end of chapter cliff hangers. The story arc and pacing are good and the ability to switch between a couple of different characters now breaks up the plot some. It's nice to know certain authors actually care about a coherent story line when they write a series. The plot pretty much picks up at the end of the last book and feels very fluid. The last one had me cracking up laughing and this one had quite a number of literal laugh out loud moments. Once again, Meyer is able to put out a very funny title in the series. The follow-up to the hilarious Off to Be the Wizard, Scott Meyer's Spell or High Water proves that no matter what powers you have over time and space, you can't control rotten luck. Of course, this is Martin Banks we're talking about, so murder, mystery, and high intrigue all get in the way of a guy who just wants one more shot to get the girl. Thankfully, Martin and Philip are invited to a summit in Atlantis for all of the leaders of the time-traveler colonies, and now Martin thinks this will be a chance to try again with Gwen. Feeling distant and lost, Gwen has journeyed to Atlantis, a tolerant and benevolent kingdom governed by the Sorceresses, and a place known to be a safe haven to all female time-travelers. A month has passed since Martin helped to defeat the evil programmer Jimmy, and things couldn't be going better.
