Most of this book was really great - a direct follow-on to its predecessor Eyes of the Void that I really loved. I still love the crazy team of Idris, Kris, Kit, Solace, and Olli and was happy to travel and live these adventures with them. However, I felt the end was a bit of a shortcut, not jumping the shark exactly, but kinda. I still liked this whole trilogy more than the Children of Time trilogy, but there is something about how Tchaikovsky kind of rushes his endings that bothers me (as it does for Peter F Hamilton as well).

message 1: by Sean (new) - added it

Sean O If you're a sci-fi fan, you often have to deal with the fact that the writing and earth-building is often stronger than the plot. (Neal Stephenson is often bad at this. He gets to a magic number (1,000 pages?) and then attempts to wrap it up. I still love his books tho.

I stopped with "Eyes of the Void" but I'll put this on my list with your positive review. Thanks!


Michael Finocchiaro You’re welcome.
PS. I love Stephenson too and read everything of his last year!
