omegarob 's review for:

The Doors of Eden by Adrian Tchaikovsky
4.0
adventurous hopeful lighthearted mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This was an enjoyable read with lots of fascinating ideas throughout! The characters were all interesting and diverse, with a range of different motivations; it was fun to see how they interacted. That said, it felt like the plot slowed midway through with very little of consequence actually happening. I also can't help feeling that the author came up with the concept first, and subsequently tried to fit a plot around it. Regardless it was still well worth reading, and I liked the interesting way in which the plot resolved near the end.
