's review

it was ok
bookshelves: science-fiction

5 stars for the ideas

-1 star for being boring

-2 stars for all the characters, even those hundreds of years old,
sounding like teenagers, complete with raging hormones

= 2 stars


I loved the author's Four Lost Cities: A Secret History of the Urban Age (nonfiction) so I'm really disappointed in this novel.

Must be, Judith. Fiction certainly isn't.

Barbara K. Oh dear, I have Four Cities sitting on a shelf somewhere waiting for me to find the right moment for it. . But as you say, not everyone can write both fiction and non-fiction. (And then there are those of us who can write neither…)

Well, the ideas in the book were really incredible, and a lot of the tech. It had the backbone to be an awesome SF but....
