Marooned in Realtime by Vernor Vinge

adventurous hopeful mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

After reading A Fire Upon the Deep, which is supposedly Vinge’s best book, I didn’t really think of reading anything else: I didn’t like it that much (it had some things, though). Marooned in Realtime was, by contrast, thrilling. If I didn’t finish in one day (a very, very long train trip) it was because I wanted it to be 2024s first book
