Kinda meh. I had high hopes after Falling Free, but this was kind of boring and strangely paced. Not really my favorite, but romance isn’t exactly my thing either.

Sucks. Only finished it because I’m reading all the winners of the Hugo for best novel. Never reading anything else by Heinlein again.

Follows the typical Philip K Dick pattern of a book with an intriguing premise and tense plot, then going completely off the rails in the last chapter. Imaginative and deeply weird.
