Picked this up because I wanted some light reading, and still ended up crying through the last few chapters. It was very good and sweet and funny, thank you Ursula.

So far this bears much resemblance structurally to Cloud Atlas, but is less than half the length. I ultimately found Cloud Atlas overambitious, so I'm interested to see where this one goes!

Wow. My word. What an accomplishment. Not perfect, but on the whole so gratifying and far-reaching. Definitely going on my very short list of books I actually might re-read.

My gods. What a world, what worlds, what universebuilding this is. Truly out there, and I love it so. You have to be bought in, and I can't blame anyone who hates it or is not along for the ride, but my god. It is exquisite. I have long held Hyperion, for all its follies, as one of my favorite works of all time, and this fills a similar cup. Twisty and layered and delicious.

This book continues to be even more itself. Such a chaotic and unmatched mix of so many things, and I love it.
