Started off a bit huh, but overall pretty interesting. Low-G movement descriptions were <3.

Okay. So we have this at the library, it's got rave reviews all over the flaps, so I take it out. In a 300ish-page book, it takes nearly 160 pages to actually get into anything interesting. While I'm glad I didn't give up on the book, I'm also kind of angry it took so long to get interesting. Sci-fi mysteries don't always do it for me, but the big reveal here simply took too long.

good story, lovely characters, nice world . skips over some important moments a bit quickly, lessening the emorional impact.

I started this book this morning only to discover I'd already read it, but I for the life of me can't remember when. How irritating.
One week later:
So I pushed through, and it appears that I only read the first chapter of this book at some dim moment in the past year. Beats me when that might have been. Maybe it was a short story that turned into a book.
In any event, I'm glad I persevered. This is a book with a lot of cool ideas. Human evolution in low-g, space elevators, people living long-term on a giant space station, a universe where the United States is NOT the dominant power in the world. What a concept!
