A fascinating look at a world with six suns and eternal daylight, and what would happen if they were to have nightfall.
I thought the first two sections of this book were very well paced. They set things up well, and then they went through the action. The third section dragged on a little bit. I did enjoy it, but had to push to keep reading sometimes.
The characters were fun, and even though he does only have one main female character, I thought that she didn’t seem sexualized in the style of old Sci-fi. (At least, from my perspective as a man.)
To sum up: if you like Asimov, you ought to like this.
