I think I have had enough of Tim Powers after reading The Anubis Gates.
It began brilliantly and until we ended up in the 17th century, I still
thought it would continue in a similar way but there was far too much
nonsensical physical and magical violence that was gratuitous and
fortuitous being unnecessary for plot nor character attributes.

I agree. More specifically, I would describe the first two Vickery &
Castine books that way, and -- mostly independent of the description
-- I'm not sure if I'll read the third.
I enjoyed the third a little more. I will buy a fourth, but then I feel
that Powers at his worst is still pretty good.
