I read this to get a taste of Tchaikovsky’s writing style before I jumped into Children of Time. Turns out that he’s an incredible writer. I finished this in two sittings. Can’t wait to read more by him!

I enjoyed the representation of depression and the speculative tech that treats it. Loved the linguistic aspects of a far future human trying to converse with basically a primitive human. Getting both POVs was a real treat. 

Although the resolution left me with a lot of questions, it was still satisfying.
