fractalanatomy 's review for:
Exordia
by Seth Dickinson
Respectfully: what the hell did I just read?
I found the sections of military jargon to be tedious, but as a lover of hard sf I think the rest of the book more than makes up for them; when this book is good, it's SO good. There are some fascinating and unique concepts introduced here that I can't stop thinking about. I was interested in all of the main cast once their souls were bared, and I genuinely liked how messy they all are. Maybe I'm a weirdo.
Anyway, 4.5/5 because I almost put this book down in Act 2, but rated up to 5 because I did love most of it and we can't give half stars (and I'm feeling generous). I really want more, please!!
