The Bohr Maker by Linda Nagata
3.0
It took a long while to finish this one, and I'm pretty sure I know why. As interesting as the premise was, a few things stopped me from really getting into this book.
Positives first. The plot is really good. Nagata puts forth a really unique world here, with the premise of makers being prevalent and influencing lives. We understand that there are artificial worlds here too. I'd also say the characters are all different and well realised. I cannot pick a favorite character though.
That transitions me nicely to why I didn't enjoy it as much. The writing is... well tough to follow most of the time. It seems overly descriptive sometimes and others feels inadequate. Another gripe is that I never really could pick a favorite character. As much as I liked them, I never loved them.
