Dark Eden by Chris Beckett

3.0

There is a lot of this I really liked -- the world, the imagery, the language (seemed much less problematic and more grounded in the story than, for example, [b:The Country of Ice Cream Star|22350219|The Country of Ice Cream Star|Sandra Newman|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1406043997s/22350219.jpg|25591193]. But I started to lose interest about halfway, in part because the resolution (no spoilers) seemed so predictable. The world exploration got a little old (we get it) almost as a way of prolonging the arrival at the conclusion. A novella masquerading as a novel. But certainly worth a read.
