The Temporal Void by Peter F. Hamilton
3.0
This Void trilogy is a bit different from most books. It has two completely different stories--one sci-fi, one fantasy. To be perfectly honest, I would rather read the fantasy book about Edeard and what he went through. I find that far more interesting.
The problem with the sci-fi book is that I can't relate to the technology at all. I've also not read the books in the previous trilogies so I don't know the characters all too well and there are a lot of them. I just feel like there's a lot of background stuff I'm missing. The only plot I do enjoy and can understand is the Second Dreamer one.
Edeard's is a lot simpler. Sure, the political and law stuff does drag on and the naming of characters can be a bit tedious but at least I know the major characters and their agenda. The only problem I have is with the ending. It took me for a complete loop going into a direction I didn't think it would. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
I'm curious to see how it ends and the new direction Edeard's story went.
