My favorite space novel since The Martian. Breathtaking in scope but still very readable and enjoyable. Will definitely read again!
2.75-3* I read 2/3 of this book. I liked aspects of it, while at the same time feeling bogged down by all of the technical science explained throughout. This book is LONG! I think it would be much better if it had been edited down significantly. I really wanted to love this, but I just could not get myself to spend the necessary time to finish it.
