I just ordered this book off of ebay. I seen someone suggest it on an earlier Tim Powers thread. I did struggle with some parts of On Stranger Tides to the point that I needed to re-read some chapters but I did like the overall feel to the book. I did like the main character and I guess if I thought On Stranger Tides was excellent and your suggesting The Drawing of the Dark is better then I can't wait for it to arrive. Might have to be bumped up on the TBR pile.
