It has been a little while since I’ve read some science fiction, and this book was recommended as something a little different.
The book had all the right stuff for good science fiction – an interesting world (universe?), a deep backstory, and some likable characters. The story itself is quite short, however, and I was hoping for more details.
It seemed like some writers could really expand on the events of this story, and for whatever reason this author kept it short. Apparently there are more books in the series, so I may give the other ones a shot later on.
Frequently science fiction books end up in trilogies or series – what is it about the genre that lends itself to serialization?
Next I am reading Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.
