Obvious writing skill… great lexicon you’ve created for this world, great science. The plot is a strength, and the range covered. This isn’t a single-track main plot; it needs and has breadth, with the vignettes of the other lives… The best part for me was Jen and Miko: a pièce de résistance. So moving, and so full of the technology, but subtly drip-fed to the reader in between the speech and the insight into Jen’s character. And the next chapter too: that revelation is another fabulous high-point.
