A somewhat disappointing end to an otherwise pretty amazing tetralogy.
Positive:
|
Negative:
|
Interesting, rich, and relatively realistic far future sci-fi setting
|
Most of what happens in the book feels like padding
|
Likable, relatively profound characters
|
Disappointing ending that renders most of what has happened redundant
|
Thought-provoking on a variety of themes, and immortality in particular
|
The plot is kind of dull, with most events, especially near the start, failing to interest
