Beautiful world-building. Interesting plot, good amount of suspense.

Came for the cool sci-fi theme and premise, stayed for the horror, mystery and philosophical contemplation about truth and religion. Best book I have read so far!

This was a re-read for me. I first read Grass many years ago and thought it was great. And I still do, or at least the first two-thirds of the book. The last third felt rushed and unfinished, as if Tepper had run out of time or just lost interest in the book and left us with a first draft. Even so, Grass is still worth reading. There is interesting world building, a curious mystery, and --at least for the first half of the book--and enjoyable writing style.
