Que leitura sensacional, me apaixonei pela escrita do autor.

Uma história instigante com personagens extremamente cativantes, um space opera de verdade. Gostei muito de como tudo foi desenvolvido e como ele conseguiu tratar muito bem diversos temas no decorrer do livro. Um autor que com toda certeza continuarei a ler.

Esse eu li no louca secreta, Li sem expectativa nenhuma, pq li o livro todinho sem saber, sinopse, autor, título, capa.. nadinha. A Experiencia? Maravilhosa, a historia, chata... mas é uma delicia reclamar em grupo, rs. Eu não me importava com ninguém, pq não consegui ver nas ações e diálogos as motivações que eles diziam ter.

Trippy, poetic, swashbuckling, full of ideas. All the things great science fiction aspires to be.

Sometimes, even great science fiction can seem to be outside the world of Literature and more akin to technical writing. Not so with Delaney. His work bristles with allusion to the greater literary universe and not just to the insular world of science fiction.

The final unfinished sentence gave me chills of enjoyment.

This was not my cup of tea. Too much info dumping. I really disliked all of the characters as well and the pace was too slow through most of the book for my taste.
