Kristen Britain's Mirror Sight
So after the events of the previous book, our heroine has somehow ended up two hundred years in the FUTURE, where her city is now a bunch of archaeological digs, and while the society is more technologically advanced, it's also now an empire full of slavery, patriarchy, and capitalism (ie BAD). Can she get herself back where she's supposed to be? And how did THAT GUY end up an immortal emperor?? (Yeah, how? It’s like the author forgot to keep this plot thread going.) Meanwhile, her friends back in the past are dealing with voice-stealing spells, changing political situations, and an impending war (though those are all pretty minor plots—this book is almost all set in the future and I think is the stronger for a narrower focus). Anyway, lots of adventure and political rebellion ensue, with the usual content warning for mentions of rape (sigh). B+.
