eowyn's review
4.0
This 700+ page science fiction novel took me a long time to read (I read two other books before finishing it), and though it was slow-going at times, I really liked it. Both the Terran scientists and the Sawls (natives of the planet they're visiting) are complex, believable characters who grow and change as they get to know each other and face many different types of challenges. The central mystery is continually engaging and has a satisfying conclusion, the planetary and climate science of the planet Fiix is unique and interesting, and even the evil character has different levels. Hard to recommend because of its length, but I think readers who like hard sf with an anthropological twist would really enjoy it.
