Very complex and dense world building, but oh boy does it pay off. I found myself skimming quite a bit through some of the more sciencey bits, but I think once you get a general gist you can understand what’s going on with the context. For me it was 500 pages of world building to make the last 100 pages hit you like a ton of bricks. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to kill a spider again.
