Space Opera

Uh, how to review this? First, I listened to the audio book so maybe I would have enjoyed it more had I read the print version? I can't say. I can say that I started out being highly amused listening to this while driving around, then it started to grate on my nerves, then I just wanted (dear God) for it to end, and then it was over. It's unfair to say that it was all of the (many, many) tangents that killed it for me-because there were some tangents I liked more than the actual story. I think I hung in there because I expected it to end with some glorious bang-and it kind of did.
I don't know. This is the second time I've tried Valente without real success. It's cool, she's just not my cup of tea.
