A review by grayjay
A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge

4.0

An excellent space opera, in an original, and creatively envisioned universe. The zones of thought dividing the galaxy into the slowness, the beyond, and the transcend offer so much in the way of plot and an invention. The Tine's world was also so original.

The characters were inviting, and I felt like an explorer learning about all the different races and civilizations in the galaxy.

The ending with the rider in the sea was so sweet. I was almost emotional.
