A Thousand Words for Stranger by Julie E. Czerneda
4.0
I have never read a book by Czerneda before, but now that I have finished this one, I am looking forward to the next.
I picked this book up on a whim one trip to B&N when my wife offered to buy me a book. I am glad I did. It was a really enthralling read, full of interesting characters and imaginative alien worlds and people.
I rated this book a 4, but it's actually a bit more complicated than that, so I think I will break it down.
Characterization: 4 - The main characters are well fleshed out, and likable and dislikable as the story warrants. However, some of the secondary characters were not as well realized, even when they played important parts.
World Building: 5 - The Trade Pact and the Clan both felt like real entities, and you could see that a lot of decision had been made and were waiting beneath the surface, supporting the story.
Plot - 3. Most of the book is a solid 4, but there are a few choices that just weren't up to par with the rest of it.
