New Moon by Ian McDonald
4.0
This was a fun near-future sci-fi read. (Not “fun” as in comedic though.) I really enjoyed the interweaving of Adriana’s flashbacks with the rest of the story. That was a heck of a way to end the book!
Some parts were confusing. I didn’t get a good sense of Wagner’s character and the wolves, but based on the title of the second book maybe it will be more fully explained soon. There was a glossary at the end, but some of the non-English words I couldn’t pick up through context; thankfully reading it as an eBook meant I could long-tap on words and see what they meant. (But why did the Brazilian Cortas use Korean terms for their leadership structure? I feel like I must’ve missed something.)
