tardigradest's review against another edition
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
3.0
this book is far more "hard" sci-fi than I usually read, but some of the social commentary was still compelling. there were enough very anti-arab characters to make it hard to read. not sure yet if I'll spend time on the sequels

Although it seems slow and boring at first a lot of necessary ground is being laid for a profound story. This book does a lot of work to get you emotionally invested in the events and characters.

lorebug's review
perhaps it delivered on the cozy terraforming descriptions but at what costs? there is no excuse for the pervasive orientalism all over this
