Customer Reviews
Another awesome Reynolds adventure.
I love Alastair Reynolds and was really engaged by ‘Revenger’ so I couldn’t wait to get stuck in and find out more about the sisters in space. Was initially a bit discombobulated when I realised it wasn’t from Fura’s perspective anymore, but came to enjoy her sister’s story better. Awesome adventure with genuine scary parts. Really enjoyed it.
