It's hard to express just how much I adore this.

I'm an enormous fan of Star Trek the Next Generation. This story touches me in ways that TNG did, but it's ideas and execution exceed even the very best of what Star Trek has to offer.

This story is a treasure.

Sputters until it really gets going.

What is it? It's gritty fantasy with a well-built world and no gimmicks. Just solid characters with agency set loose on a backdrop of well-developed renaissance/medieval fantasy.

Some early chapters are better than others, but when the story begins in earnest, you'll be hooked.

Great characters, good setups for the long term narrative, excellent narration with absolutely zero complaints.

Doesn't deserve the hype.

Nice prose, but hardcore fans of the SF genre will find the core premise too familiar.

Disappointing narration.

Revisado: 06-29-21

The narrator made what might otherwise be an exciting sequel into a frustrating slog.

Masterful. Deserves far more recognition.

Martin's work on ASOIAF has undoubtedly overshadowed what would otherwise be considered some of the most creative SF short fiction that a reader could hope for.

Several of these stories could serve as the foundation for best-selling SF series.

Some narrators are better than others, but there's plenty to enjoy.

Stunningly intelligent; far too long.

While this is a must-read for hardcore fans of the first-contact genre, there's little here apart from the core idea; it's a great idea, but this novel would have been better as short fiction.

This will stay with you.

Excellent ideas, and thrillingly executed.

There's a variety of flavor here, and the quality is consistent enough to make this THE SF short fiction collection. Nobody does it better than Chiang. He's hardly prolific, but when he publishes a story, it's ALWAYS excellent.

Great narration as well.

Not Watts' best story.

Revisado: 06-29-21

While many of Peter's fans will enjoy this prequel story set in the universe of his best short fiction, I think many will find the tale more than a little derivative. The evil AI trope is better executed elsewhere. There are interesting ideas here, but Watts neglects to sufficiently flesh-out the world of the stories which precede this novella, at least in my opinion.

Sanderson's followup surpasses the first novel.

Kramer is perfect in his narration.

Great story that is well-paced and expands the world of the first novel.

Not as good as the Stormlight Archive, still great

Michael Kramer is excellent, as always; I really enjoyed the plot and the characters.
