I found it hard to care about the characters, who mostly seemed affectless, drifting from circumstance to circumstance. Lot of events, little plot. The science seemed interesting, but not enough to wade through the turgid characters.

Between OK and liked

Maybe more of a 2.5. It was hard to get through the first third of the book. I don’t think the bit with the first Yuli was necessary. I liked the character of Shay Tal although I wish her story had some sort of in. Seeing their society profess was interesting too, although the rapidity of it was somewhat hard to believe.
