The characters and their motivations make total sense an the most important thing is that each character puts had his own importance in the story. You donât feel that any one character is the hero that could have done everything by himself.
The writer does not resort to cheap tricks to surprise the reader and all the twists make sense.
A must read for any sci-fi reader. Iâm pretty sure it will become a classic
