cellardoor10 's review for:

3.5

I really enjoyed a lot of this book - interesting characters, revealing the world via business paperwork and RFP meetings, etc.  That was an unusual choice, but ultimately kind of brilliant.

Ancient Mesopotamia was fun to visit, though I felt like the story kind of lost itself there, and I did not really appreciate the sudden ending.  It did that thing that a lot of short stories and novellas do, where they end with a punchy, dramatic sentence that's supposed to be a punchline, and then just ends.  I really, deeply hate that, because I somehow never get the punchline and have to go back and reread to figure out what they are implying with it.
