I think "The Drawing of the Dark" did pretty much define Tim Powers' formula for his historical fantasies, it has most of the elements that the later books did.
I did enjoy "The Drawing of the Dark", although it does lack the depth of his later novels.

Its a shame he written only 12 books since 1976.

There are quite a few short stories as well, although I've not read most of them yet. Unfortunately Powers tends to do a huge amount of historical research before writing his novels which probably makes it inevitable there is a large gap between the books.
