Well, I dunno. This was kind of a mixed bag. Maybe good fiction, like life, is a mixed bag?

Was this good fiction?
It won the Hugo, Nebula, Locus and Bram Stoker Awards. Good credentials all so I figure it must be good fiction but in reading it I was more impressed with the accolades then the substance of the book.

I sort of liked a couple characters. The build-up was a little boring and the resolution of the main conflict was a let down.
