Pandora's Star by Peter F. Hamilton

3.0

Prior to reading Pandora's Star, I read [b:Great North Road|13573419|Great North Road|Peter F. Hamilton|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1344371600l/13573419._SY75_.jpg|19154394], which I really enjoyed. I was a little disappointed with this one. I kept putting this down and reading other books. I found that some of the storylines were more interesting than others.

The book started off really well: An astronomer, while observing the night sky, sees a star completely vanish. Then the book slows down to a crawl with a huge cast of characters, political machinations, rejuvenations, wealthy dynasties, and sexism.

I will read [b:Judas Unchained|45244|Judas Unchained (Commonwealth Saga, #2)|Peter F.
