cavalary's review against another edition
4.0
Great. Interesting world, again a "what if" about humanity starting over, great idea about the close star systems, both personal and general views of the society, a healthy dose of the supernatural... Unfortunately too much traditionalism, but it was fought against and left only on a personal level in the end, which sends a good message.
Found the Asian theme (names, traditions, etc.) a bit odd, but after thinking about it I guess it's as good as any...
There were a few things that bothered me, but most were personal... Ideas some of the good characters had and things that the same characters did, usually or a personal or family level, that made me frown and clench my teeth for a moment... If they were one-time things, I'd have assumed they're there just as a reminder than no one is completely good (or completely evil for that matter), but some are recurring and that bothered me... Difference of opinions with the author I guess.
Still, a great read.
