A review by eyetigress
The Light of Other Days by Arthur C. Clarke

challenging dark informative reflective tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

The influence of Stephen Baxter is strong and the expert writing of Arthur C Clarke only really shines in the last 100 or so pages of the book. I feel if Clarke had been able to write the book in its entirety, it would have been a far more enjoyable and hopeful read.
