A remarkable, well-written, well-plotted novel full of interesting characters set in a very insular, almost claustrophobic location. This novel is like nothing I've ever read before, but maybe that's because I don't read much sci-fi...

I liked that there weren't any huge info-dumps, everything was dribbled through slowly. Only thing is it left me wanting more! To know more about this world, how far in the future is it? How did everything come to pass? A sequel, prequel, companion novel or something please!

I loved Hana and her growth and progress over the whole story from timid to assertive. I also loved Fenn and his internal conflicts about stealing and his guilt over his sister's accident. I loved his and Hana's relationship though it was a little instalove. I wonder what their prospects are long term though...

I thought that the other characters were interesting and I wish we could have learned more about them. The progression of Cyclo as a character and an entity was fascinating and so unique! And again after the way it ended I would love a sequel or something, anything set in this world!
