So You Want to Be a Wizard: Second Post (Out of Time)
The dark universe Nita and Kit are sent to in this book is very strange. Perhaps what stands out the most for me is that it is a world without history and likely without future (even if the kids hadn’t interfered). It is a city of sky-scrapers with no people. The buildings have no purpose. Store fronts lie empty, doors are all permanently locked. Without builders and residents to maintain them and give purpose to the structures, why are they there? For that matter, where did they come from? What’s the point, really?
