This was a sometimes interesting pile of verbal diarrhea. I will not be reading the other books in this trilogy when they come out.

Stephenson's books always take a while to get going, and this is just Book 1 so still too early to really judge

heidijhelm's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 25%

Not what I thought it would be. Was expecting science fiction and it’s speculative, historical fiction instead.
