Sci-Fi, 2/10 – Spring 2004
Besides extra moons in the sky and stories of devastating meteor showers that toppled a former Empire, this novel’s squalid, pre-industrial world seems to have no sci-fi elements. I was constantly anticipating something cool to happen but it never did, or it did but was really really disappointing. I would have been so confused if I didn’t know about the culture from other books. |
