karter 's review for:

New Moon by Ian McDonald
3.5
adventurous medium-paced
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Takes a while to get into, especially with the jumping POV changes. At the 150pg mark it gels together and becomes interesting. There are some weird stuff in the book, but I'm intrigued enough to read the 2nd book in the series.
