A review by johnayliff
A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge

4.0

I didn't enjoy this quite as much as A Fire Upon the Deep, but it is a very different beast, with the story playing out over a large expanse of time rather than of space. I found the middle of the book to be a bit slow going, but it paid off in the last hundred pages or so which were riveting. The portrayal of the aliens, and the contrast between how they appear to themselves and how they appear to humans, was delightful.
