A review by bmcraec
Red Moon by Kim Stanley Robinson

3.0

I’m having some trouble deciding what to think about this book. On the one hand, it’s an interesting slice of the complexities of China, which clearly is a primary theme for KSR. On the other hand, the overall braided structure of the novel moved the plot forward as expected, if not with delight for me. I’m glad I read it, and have recommended it to others, but hoo-boy, I struggled to suspend my disbelief regarding intuitive mid-wifery in the last 20 pages. Could the ending have been more satisfying? Yes. Yes, it could.
