New Moon
by Ian McDonald
I ended up really liking this, even though the POV changes were kind of annoying at first. The plot ended up flowing really well and the characters were quite interesting. The concept of colonizing the moon was really cool and I liked how McDonald built up the world and made it as hard as it was. The concept of contract law was also really cool.
The plot moved a little slow, but was quite intriguing. The tech side of the world was quite fascinating as well. I enjoyed the descriptions given of the world built on the moon.
The characters were ruthless. It was interesting to see how characters had left Earth for the moon and then chose to stay and build their lives and families up from there. I liked Carlihnos and Marina, as well as Ariel's points of view. Lucasihno was a little annoying and a spoiled brat at points, but develops and grows towards the end of the novel.
Overall, great story arc and characters and I am intrigued to keep reading.
