summerrains 's review for:

A Fire Upon The Deep by Vernor Vinge

2.5

challenging reflective tense slow-paced

---

this book might have had potential to be 3 stars if i knew what was going on but it was so confusing. too many different plot lines and it took too long for things to even halfway make sense. i read a physical copy, listened to the audiobook, and discussed this in class and it was still too much for me. definitely do not read if you’re just trying to get into sci-fi lit.
