"But by their very presence [the settlers of Everfair] poisoned what they sought to save. How could they not? Assuming they knew the best about so many things--not even realizing they had made such assumptions--they acted without considering other viewpoints and remained in ignorance in spite of the broadest hints."

It took me a little while at the beginning to appreciate what this book was doing, but now I'm into it -- the many characters, short chapters, and gaps of months or years between scenes are all working together to tell an epic story very efficiently.

There are a lot of characters introducing a lot of setup, but it's progressing along at a fast clip, and the writing is excellent. Everyone's starting to converge already, and I'm excited to see where the story is going.
