Helpful Score: 1

This was an entertaining read with a wide array of interesting characters, but I felt on occasion the author didn't exploit opportunities to expand on building a new society from scratch. Some of the technical details were lacking or rushed. The sub-plot of the main antagonist was a bit too wild and unbelievable, and it seems like his character development could have lent to a better plot. The book was also about 100 pages too long in the way epic fantasies are too long, but Stirling manages to carry it well enough.
