kricket's review against another edition
5.0
This is one of those Sci-fi books that is a hard criticism of humanity in general. It was beautiful written and riveting. It also messed me up quite a bit. I don't want to risk spoiling anything so I won't give details but it is a hard examination of what people would do when given the defacto power of gods and what choices justify a means.

Very interesting story. I liked how everyone that is running away from Earth seem to become the things that they ran away from. And the Children had become the same slaves that they felt most Humans were becoming on Earth.
Written in third person there was a huge feeling that the perspective felt first person. A small issue was the non-development of some, seemingly central, characters. It was easy to figure out where they fit into the plot points since they seemed to be central but were never developed and kind of cast away from the story. All in all it was very good and a story that shows that fear can make slaves of us all.
