There is something about John Scalzi's writing and characters. I've read so many of his books now and he writes science fiction in a way that just keeps you hooked. I am a big fan of The Interdependency series so far. This book continues on the store and mythology in a way that I could not put it down.
The idea of flow shoals and memory rooms and the habitats that this space-faring society lives in are really fun to think about, but what makes this story stand out are the characters and the interactions. I don't think I saw the end of this book coming though I knew something was going to happen.
I like where this series is going and can't wait for Scalzi to finish it up or hopefully he will keep it going for a long while like with Old Man's War.
Just as good as the first book in the series. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. Can't wait to see what happens to these characters.
This was reasonably entertaining, but it did feel rather like the characters were just pieces being moved around a chess board, not real personalities acting out of their own motivations and constrained by their own knowledge.
It starts out very slow, with a largely irrelevant personal history of a church official, and then segueing into . . . a committee meeting. However, it does gain momentum pretty steadily, and by the end I wanted to know what was going to happen next, and found some of the revelations really intriguing/cool/satisfying.
Unfortunately the resolution involves a plot device verging on deus ex machina, which drained a little energy from what was otherwise a Crowning Moment of Awesome. Still, it was a fun ride.
