Wanted to like it, but it drags on + the obsession with the 15yo girl is frankly offputting, to put it lightly

I really liked the overarching themes and ideas and the story as a whole but I just didn't care about any of the characters or what they were doing or why.

I actually liked this better than Gateway. Perhaps it was because I'd just read Sparrow, which had a similar device to Gateway and was presented significantly better.
This book was easier to follow, and had an interesting mystery unfold. There was still some plot meandering, but not long stretches as in the prequel.
I especially enjoyed the imagination of the technology and the use of computers and networks, and computer personal assistants. The cosmology is a little dated at this point, but he presents rather fun 'what ifs.'

So far a pretty interesting series. I wonder where it will go from here.

While I liked the narrative style of Gateway, which switched between the past and the present, the choice to put this sequel fully in the present made it even more of a page turner.
This was a great sequel, with the discoveries and consequences getting bigger and bigger.
