Six million years ago, at the dawn of the star-faring era, Abigail Gentian fractured herself into a thousand male and female clones, which she called shatterlings. But now, someone is eliminating the Gentian line. Campion and Purslane—two shatterlings who have fallen in love and shared forbidden experiences—must determine exactly who, or what, their enemy is, before they are wiped out of existence.
4.5 stars, not quite enough to warrant a 5 star review. Very enjoyable!

I didn't care too much about the Palacial subplot, but everything else was good stuff.
Most fun I've had with a book in quite a while. Always knew I could really enjoy Reynolds, but somehow never quite managed to until this one.
Fantastic premise, vast creative sci-fi adventure with clever ideas and an intriguing universe. Except it falls completely flat.
