A review by ted_funsten
Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee

3.0

The story was slow to get going, plodding along in a moderately entertaining fashion for the first 2/3 of the book. It gains strength at the end. I thought the strange, calendar and mathematically-based system of warfare would become more understandable by the end. At least for me, it didn't. There's a lot of talk about math and number theory in the military formations and weaponry. Also talk of simulations and game design. I wondered if the characters are all computer simulations, haven't come to a conclusion.
