New Moon by Ian McDonald
4.0
adventurous funny mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

It's a complicated story, with many characters and sub-plots, but worth it. It's a complicated setup, but your told how this world works in detail, with characters and words that you do need to refer to the character lost and glossary (not that big) once you get used to it, you start to really get into the book, much like The Long Run, at the beat of the drums you can't stop.
