This is the sequel to Streams of Babel. I really liked both books.

I didn't expect Streams of Bable to have a sequel, and thus I wasn't sure what to expect when I read this book. In the end, it was all right. I found some of the different plot threads hard to square with one another, and I didn't always find the relationships between the characters believable, or even the characters themselves believable, for that matter, but there were a few characters I really liked, and they made up for it. The end seemed unnecessary to me in several different ways. It could have ended a chapter or two earlier.

mitslits's review against another edition

The alternating viewpoints were hard to keep up with and I found the characters unrealistic. I don't think reading the first one would have helped (though I looked all over the book to see if there was a mention of it being a sequel and found nothing).

Let me first say that I want to be a Biomedical Engineer when I grow up so I was really excited to read this book, I had not read the first book but I figured it would be ok, and I could catch up as I went along. While I was able to understand what was going on for the most part, I was really, really board.

I am not sure whether the first book was more interesting, but this book had too much whining for me, and even though I came to care about the characters, I could not really get into it. Maybe I will try again after reading the first book. If I change my mind I will be sure to let you guys know.
