Another book that took freaking forever to finish. I think I've gotten a pretty good feel for how these books flow:
• hundreds and hundreds of pages of exposition
• the last five pages of a chapter of really cool stuff that you've been waiting for for four hundred pages
• hundreds and hundreds of pages of exposition
• the last five pages of a chapter of really cool stuff that you've been waiting for for four hundred pages
etc.
So... when's the next book coming out?

All I can think of is: "I waited six years, and this is what I got?"
Sorry, George. For six years effort -- during which you relaunched more Wild Card books, reprinted Fevre Dream, and merchandised the hell out of ASOI&F and got a TV show up and running -- we should have had a much better, tighter piece of work. This? This was not that work.
I don't know if I'll bother with the next one... providing it comes out before I turn forty. This was a huge disappointment. Hope you're looking forward to losing another Hugo next year!

Honestly it's my fault it got such a low rating. I audiobooked this, and listening to the sex-ish scenes/weirdly in-depth descriptions of people's bodies really took the fun out of it all. Probably would've been a 4/5 if I actually read the thing because then my ears wouldn't have been bleeding.
