francogrex's review against another edition
2.0
The premise and the idea is good, but the execution? not quite so. It is intriguing only about 5% of the time, the rest is all useless fillers about the characters that we don't care about. I gave it 2/5 and that's me being generous. It was a tedious read.

This felt like a series of vignettes rather than a full cohesive story. A bit challenging to keep track of in the beginning. It felt like a bit of a thought experiment, which was super interesting.

Al principio de este libro se prensentan a muchos personaes.
Aunque no pasa nada, simplemente se nos presenta cada uno, es la parte que mas me gusta, se tiene que tener mucha habilidad para describir tantos personajes de forma unica.
Despues esta el evento del libro, que bueno no esta mal.
Pero el final es como la gente reacciona a esto y me esperaba mas. Tarde 6 dias en leer el primer 80% y 3 semanas el ultimo 20% porque me estaba arrastrando intentando acabarlo.

I love speculative fiction and I love a big cast of characters and this book had it all. it was a little bit slow to start because we had to get introduced to everyone but I was always so curious to see what was going to happen! I listened to this on audio and the end of the audio book…so good. I love books that make you contemplate everything you think you know and don’t leave you with a clear answer. I don’t know if i’d reread this just because it can be a bit slow and dense at times, but I would definitely check this out if you enjoy speculative fiction!

Une histoire extraordinaire et très intelligente, avec une multitude de personnages assez attachants, le tout mené par une belle écriture fluide, qui laisse régulièrement transparaître les libertés oulipiennes.
