Void Star by Zachary Mason

3.0

Really wanted to like this one, but couldn't. It's a tough and messy read. I kept forgetting who is who, what was going on two pages ago and constantly reread sentences. Some of them were beautiful, some try-hard or just plain annoying. 1/2 of the book is composed of visual episodes from mathematical, digital future; and the story deteriorates about 2/3's into it (if I'm being generous).

So what's good? World building and the fact that I've learned so many new fancy English words like 'perfunctory', 'efficacious' or 'consternation'.
