Good but not great. The first half is stronger than the second, and I was more gripped by the ideas than the execution. Worth reading once.

I liked it more than I expected and less than I hoped. The setup was excellent; the payoff was adequate. A three-star book with five-star ambitions.

This is the book I'll point to when I try to explain why I read so much. It reminded me what literature is actually for.

A solid, enjoyable read that doesn't overstay its welcome. Won't change your life but will pass a long flight very pleasantly. Exactly what it says on the tin.

Changed how I think about what fiction can do. I'll be recommending this to everyone I meet for the foreseeable future. An absolute masterpiece.

Knocked me sideways. I wasn't expecting to be this affected by a fantasy novel. The emotional intelligence here is remarkable.

Reads like the author had a genuinely great idea and then wasn't quite sure how to end it. The journey is worth it even if the destination disappoints slightly.

This book broke me and then put me back together better. I don't say that lightly. It's the kind of thing you read once and carry with you forever.
