A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge
4.0

First-time reading by an SF fan who doesn’t usually go in for space opera: I’m sure my rating will go up on reread. It’s just that I could quite keep track of the many characters and their motivations. Otherwise, the world-building is outstanding. The prose is acceptable. The characters are a bit two-dimensional but I blame that on the sheer volume of characters. Amazing ideas. I’ll revisit someday and I definitely want to read the prequel A Deepness in the Sky.
