Void Star by Zachary Mason

4.0

The prose and the vocabulary are the two biggest obstacles to reading and enjoying this book. It is dense and challenging at times. However, giving the book a chance and piercing through that, I think, one finds that the rhythm of the prose contributes to the tone and that they are inseparable. The vocabulary I could give or take. The world building is fantastic and immersive. Some characters are strong and well-built while others are shallow. The plot is clearly inspired by Neuromancer, if not completely derivative, but it doesn't suffer because of it. In some ways, I found this world more believable and thus more immersive than that of Neuromancer. Regardless, it is a good book and worth reading.
