Super immersive, science-y, "hard" science-fiction. The technology, and the jargon and vocabulary, all created a world that I was very interested in and curious about.
Part III caught me off-guard, seeming to come out of nowhere. It could have been a stand-alone book on its own, or the beginning of a series of New Earth books. I'd be interested in reading more about this new world and its inhabitants.
Like so many people, I enjoyed the first 2/3rds of this book. I wouldn't say I loved it, for I'm not particularly attached to hard-edged sci-fi like Seveneves. I found the story fascinating and did learn some things about orbital mechanics, but it did drone on and on and I found myself begging for the abridged version more than once.
Once I hit the turning point around the 2/3rd mark, any connection I had with the story that was pulling me along was suddenly gone. I tried for another 50 pages or so to keep it up, but my interest had vanished. This one is a did-not-finish.
