A review by azkiim
Beggars in Spain by Nancy Kress
3.0
This review has some really vague spoilers. Mostly mention of dates in the novel.
I love this book series. The world and character are decently well built. But I also have some issues with it. The biggest one is that Nacy Kress can't seem to move time in this novel at a consistent pace. I started to notice this about half way through the book. The book seem to jump around a lot. Stating in one year, but seeming to go back before that year and then like twenty years after that stated year with out warning, then back again.
Something happens at the end of the book. The date says it's 2092 when this specific event happens, but according to her second book intro it states it happened in 2101. The books states that a group of people did the thing 13 years prior to 2114. That's a nine year gape that she doesn't really explain what happened to said group of people and it really needs ad explanation with how big the event was. You can also tell this with one of the characters age. The book states that In 2092 this one character is suppose to be sixteen. the same character is also suppose to be sixteen in 2101. The sense of time in this series is honestly really confusing.
Sorry if this was confusing. I was trying to explain it as spoiler free as I could.
