  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

This wasn't bad, but I can't say that I liked it. The characters aren't very interesting or likable and some of them kind of grated on me. That said, the world was pretty interesting: I liked the idea of roving cities mining an alien planet. And the imagery was pretty well developed without being overly described.

A different kind of world sets this story apart from many like it. A man who cannot forget the past but must learn to see the future.
