4.0

Ich gebe diesem Buch einen Stern mehr als dem Vorgänger, da hier endlich Figuren sind mit denen man mitfiebern kann. Ihr Schicksal ist mir nicht völlig egal und ihre Handlungen sind nicht komplett durschaubar, wie im ersten Teil.
Ansonsten werden hier wieder Ideen und Theorien formuliert, die mich komplett umgehauen haben, gerade weil wir das erste Mal in der Zukunft sind.
Ich fand die längeren technischen Beschreibungen etwas langatmig, sie sind teil des Worldbuildings und daher zu verschmerzen.
Ansonsten wird der 3. Teil natürlich gekauft. Obwohl ich so gar keine Ahnung habe, was jetzt passieren soll.

previous book was the buildup, this was the payoff. Some very powerful moments in this book, and clever writing.
The characters, most, lack depth. But the scifi aspect is absolutely amazing.
