2 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
A brand-new novel from "the most exciting space opera writer working today" (Locus). In a far distant future, an enforcement agent named Quillon has been living incognito in the last human city of Spearpoint, working as a pathologist in the district morgue. But when a near-dead angel drops onto his dissecting table, his world is wrenched apart. For the angel is a winged posthuman from Spearpoint's Celestial Levels, and with the dying body comes bad news-to save the angel's life, Quillon must leave his home and travel into the cold and hostile lands beyond the city.

Mehso-so

Not Reynolds best book. It's trying to juggle a lot, and never keeps everything in line. There's about 200 pages of really good reading in here and a decent setup. The problem is the other two hundred pages where there's a lot of exposition. Check out Century Rain instead.

After months of ignoring it and letting it collect dust next to my bed, I'm back to this Alistair Reynolds novel that features all of the niche sci fi settings you can think of in one world.
