A review by megatsunami
Heaven Chronicles by Joan D. Vinge

4.0

Definitely enjoyed these two novellas. They had an "old timey" SF feel to them. The first one had some predictable plot elements but I liked it a lot. I would have liked the second novella better as a novel - it was told from too many different points of view for me. Normally I appreciate this, but in the context of a shorter novella it was too much information without enough development for each character. I kept getting confused about who was who and what was what. Also, I felt like the utopian/ dystopian elements to the different societies could have been given more in-depth treatment in a full-length novel.
