these books should be way better than they are.
This trilogy kept me off balance. Characters didn't stay in neat, enduring categories of good or bad. They kept doing positive and negative things for their own selfish reasons. On the aggregate, it eventually worked out for the better for all involved. (But not in a Rand-ian market way.) Just enough of the characters were biased just enough toward the common good that they got through the tumultuous years with positive spin.This trilogy has a lot of big ideas, delivered in little drips-drops an...
Just fantastic- one of those books built around an idea so original and outlandish it makes you laugh for joy.The prose is solid and while the plot teeters on the edge of being too twisty for its own good it never goes completely off the rails.The conceit (predictably enough) can't carry the sequels to equal heights, but they're still entertaining and worth a look.
Post apocalyptic future as the Medieval Dark Ages again. Only difference is this one's set in Australia.
Too many characters and story lines at the same time. Although it had some interesting concepts and characters. I only made it through a third of the book.
I like stories about theoretical futures, this one being thousands of years from now and strange dis-junctures in technology. Well written overall, but had lots of made up words. Understand the future will hold new words-we develop them every day. For me, there was just too many that distracted me from becoming one with the flow of the story. He should write a prequel to tell how Mirrorsun got there and how the Call came about. Maybe there is one and I just don't know it.
One of my favorite books. I still want to track down the rest of the series.

Absolutely freakin' divine. Luminously perfect, with a dark, scheming, fierce engine of intellect behind the beauty.
The last and longest instalment of this wonderful trilogy. I've thoroughly enjoyed rereading it.
I didn't realise this was the 3rd in the series when I bought it, so maybe any revelations lost their punch. Overall, it was enjoyable.
BLUF: As the coda to an enjoyable series-- I'll explain in a moment why I insist on "series" rather than "trilogy"-- this was a disappointment. Good for completeness, but nothing new or exciting or even a resolution to any open threads from the previous installments.The good: McMullen continues with an immersive world and some existing interesting concepts. I would like to see more stories in this world-- maybe even branch out from North America and Australia to see how the rest of the world far...
