Hm, a 3-3.5 star I guess. At first the story went on and on without much happening, until a twist I didn't see coming. I wish that twist had come a little earlier in the book though and the author expanded that part of the story more.

Another "Cordelia Hatmaker" adventure I liked very much (though "The Mapmakers" is still my favourite so far). Will Cordelia's story continue? I hope so.

Well, that was a fast read. I finished it within a few hours because it had hooked me, but then the ending & solving of the mystery was a bit too simple and easy for my taste. Still, the story was entertaining and very well written.

Having read the trilogy, all I can say is: 5/5, do recommend. These are among the best sci-fi books I've read so far, very engaging, with a diverse cast of characters, and well written.
