An interesting but flawed space opera

On the Steel Breeze, the follow-up to 2012's Blue Remembered Earth, is a typical Alastair Reynolds novel. It has all of Reynolds' usual good points – a fascinating setting, evocative description, and a complex, many-layered plot. However, the book also displays his weaknesses: characters are somewhat bland and difficult to relate to, and some chapters tend to drag. I recommend this as a good piece of sci-fi, but not a great one.

On the Steel Breeze

A very satisfying conclusion to Blue Earth Remebered. Can’t help wishing that the writer will give us another glimpse into this fabulous future that has been created.
