I feel like I should've liked this more as it had Zelazny meets XistenZ vibes, but throughout the book most of the goings on are gross or repetitive and I found one of the main characters boring and unlikable.
Half of the middle section is a fun bit of adventure with characters I liked though, so not all bad.
Exquisite. Loved the megastructure themes. More books in this universe would be welcome.
I got 40% through the book and gave up. Dark, violent, and gory, which would be OK if any of the characters or the plot were interesting enough. They weren't - just boring. Life is too short to be bored. It was not for me.
Possibly a 2.5 for me.
Initially, I thought I was going to love this strange book, but it sagged in the middle and never really recovered. I think such a curious, largely unexplained world requires a truly strong storyline and this didn't have it.
