Cold Fusion by Harper Fox

3.0

2.5 stars. The writing is beautiful and I quite enjoyed the first half of this, but after that it kind of descended into something that was not for me. It's Harper Fox, so the writing is gorgeous and lyrical and evocative and emotional, and it's by far the best thing about this book. The plot started off okay, but it became pretty unbelievable in the second half, and the ending was incredibly melodramatic. There's a fair bit of implausible science that happens, and I struggled with suspension of disbelief. I quite liked Viv, but I never connected with Mallory and found him to be quite unsympathetic and a not-very-likeable narrator. I usually love Harper Fox's books, but this one didn't work so well for me.
