I liked a lot of things about this book, but I think it could have been clearer in some of the explanations as it was going along. I don’t mean in terms of plot reveals—obviously we aren’t supposed to know some things until later—but in terms of clarity of language. Still, the way everything comes together is satisfying and interesting. The world building is also good. Solid sci-fi.

i deeply and impersonally despise the author of this book for depicting such fascinating concepts with the least interesting prose & depth of vision i have ever encountered. like chewing stale cardboard and half as tasty

Okay, I am definitely a fan of Lafferty's work! Tried Six Wakes after reading another series of hers and it's really well-crafted! Kept me guessing and when connection are revealed, it's good. Totally worth the read!
