Rereading this book for the Powells Beaverton SF group to be discussed Tuesday May 8th at 7pm. I originally read this book for the Endeavour Award - and it was my highest ranked book that year - though it was not nominated (and my second highest ranked book won).

Great characters and setting and writing and worth a re-read. It is unfortunate that the sequels (Canticle and Antiphone) are not as good as the original. Perhaps I'll change my mind in the end with Requiem and Hymn.

4.5 of 5.
