Readable but quite unsatisfying. It felt like it was supposed to be a snapshot of time, so to speak. A day in the life-type thing. But instead it felt very truncated, like Reynolds got bored and couldn’t really be bothered finishing the story. I have lots of unanswered questions and I think there is so much potential that’s just going nowhere.
Perhaps not the best introduction to Reynolds that I could have picked, so I won’t hold it against him.

This was a fun read. One of the main characters is a P.I. in an alternate 1950's on an alternate Earth.
