I’ve never met a Reynolds piece that I wasn’t intrigued by and finished without any questions. This, however, was tedious. I love the author and really wanted to finish this book, as I can’t stand the idea if not finishing a book that I’ve started. However, I just couldn’t get through this one.

Just sucked. Period. At about the 70% mark I realized I was just tired of the chore of reading this book. It was engaging at first, and then turned into ‘stupid’. Sorry Alastair Reynolds, I know it takes a lot to write a book. This one just didnt work.

Great as always from Alastair Reynolds. But the publisher does his work a severe disservice. Why is the digital edition of a book published this year full of typos and punctuation errors?

A remarkable story. Beautifully written. I won’t say anything about the plot- it is best read without expectation.
