It was pretty slow at first. I found it hard to get into, but it picked up pretty fast after the first 50 pages. Overall, the book was excellent! The only flaw, which really isn't a flaw was that I wasn't too into it at the beginning.

        I am deeply attached to the person holding the center, and the person embracing him. The sky-sea space-time matter-energy self-universe center-edge is at stake; the pages too few to cradle all of the implications thereof. But it's as sweet as it is small. And sanguine. And blue. If I dream any dream, I'd be glad of it being a dream as kind as this one was.

There is a viral plague that kills billions “offscreen”, intentionally disturbing but without graphic descriptions.
