I *loved* the Saga of the Seven Suns.

The story was ok, but the actual writing was far under par compared to other Anderson books. I would still be willing to try the sequel - I really did love the original saga - but expected better writing than this. ( )

very long and could probably be edited a bit more. ( )

Tried reading this for the 2015 Hugo voting. Didn't really enjoy it and gave up about 25% of the way in having struggled that far.
Doesn't have very much of a 'human element' which I seem to need in books nowadays. It's very much the kind of book I would have given 4/5 stars to 10 years ago. Excellent if you're into the whole hard scifi space adventuring thing.
Not saying it's a bad book, I just didn't like it. ( )

Hugo due diligence ...
,.. and no. Sorry, I have far too many other books to read to be wasting my time on this. ( )
