upasanas 's review for:

Polostan by Neal Stephenson
4.0
mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I enjoyed this book!
Sparked an interest in history that is more local. Stephenson does a great job telling a story that handles plot lines at different scopes quite well.

I thought the ending was soap-operatic

The section about the Bonus army got me an answer in a quiz!
