Finished 19/02/16
It took me an embarrassingly long time to finish this so let me start by saying that's not a reflection of
the book, more a consequence of travel chaos and organising a new job.
Now that's sorted I've managed to finish this wonderful book. Tregillis hasn't let me down, which was a worry when you love a first book so much, he keeps the story energised and intriguing with characters you really care for. Everything I've said in my micro review of 'The Mechanical' still stands, the point I wish to focus on for this book is his superb wielding of pacing. It's a masterclass never growing boring or needing to information dump to the point you don't really mind that the story hasn't progressed as much as I'd have liked from the end point of the first book to the finish of this one. Still a lot of mysteries and wonders to come I hope.
