The real difference between this one and Cobley's previous offerings is that there is no emotional connection. Despite a focus on only a handful of key characters, a good proportion of which are clearly ''the good guys'', it was hard to really care about them. Too much attention is required just trying to follow what's happening, with nothing left over to engage with individual characters.
If you do enjoy this one, we'd recommend going back to the beginning with [[Seeds of Earth (Humanity's Fire) by Michael Cobley|Seeds of Earth]] Or check out a real master at work with [[The Algebraist by Iain M Banks]]. You might enjoy [[Impulse by Dave Bara]].
