I read the book, but I'm almost regretting the time I put to this book. The conflict was even more self-caused than the previous, but with constant reminder that there is not real conflict. Add the stupid long, stupid discussions between the NPCs and you get a terrible book.

I made a mistake of starting the Kingkiller Chronicles without realizing that the third book isn't out yet. It's apparently something the fans have been waiting for years already.

The version of the book I have has an introduction by Graham Sleight where he warns the book being controversial. It definitely has controversial content, maybe less on the politics, but more on the normalization of corporal punishment as well as objectifying women. For the politics itself its easy to suspend the disbelief how on this future world we have regressed into such a militaristic environment.
I don't usually read much fantasy, but I enjoyed this. The analog to Harry Potter comes from the first book focusing on the main character studies in magic.

Not quite as good as Deep Storm. It's a good monster flick in book form, where Deep Storm was more sci-fi in the style of Prey or Sphere

The book reminds me of Prey by Michael Crichton. The hero goes to an underwater facility, trying to solve what's wrong with the people getting sick, while at the same time unearthing what they in the facility are actually doing and what consequences it has.
Read it in 2 or so days, definitely a page turner.

Content warning Spoilers
Themes revolve around the meaning of life for individuals, which resonated with me. The book is really heavy on the technobabble.
This was a good hard science fiction book. But it's definitely not a page-turner while requiring constant attention. I listened to Red Mars as an audiobook and too much of the book ended up being background noise while I got distracted by everything else. I had a really hard time focusing on the book :/

This was both a difficult read and a good read. It was an interesting book, while not necessarily a page-turner. It's a book that leaves an imprint on your mind for a while.
