chlcrc617 's review for:
Pandora's Star
by Peter F. Hamilton
I waited until I finished Judas Unchained before reviewing the first of the saga.
Wow. Just wow. I can't even imagine the amount of planning that went into this series. It's masterfully built. It doesn't all make sense at first. You often have the thought of "wait another character what??" but I promise the saga all comes together. I feel infinitely satisfied having just finished Judas Unchained and I don't want to leave this massive cast of characters behind.
I think what I find most impressive about the book is the world. You genuinely feel like "yeah, this is believable as our future." It's crazy and futuristic, but you can see how it's all rooted in what humans do/want/enjoy now (probably with a heavy western slant). All the characters are informed by this world in ways that make sense. No one feels out of character within the context of the world and the characterization Hamilton builds for them. Sure, it can feel sci-fi word heavy at times and you need to reread a couple paragraphs to get your brain back on board, but it's just so rewarding that it's fully worth the extra few minutes here and there.
BRB immediately buying physical copies of this saga
