It's rare that I enjoy a series of books all the way to the end. Writing endings is hard! Perhaps more so when the story is as great as this one, but The Golden Enclaves left me completely satisfied. It might even be the best conclusion to a series I have ever read!

My main problem with this book is that it tries too hard to be realistic, when it is anything but. Stephenson spends so much time on detailed physics and technology, but I didn't trust it to be correct and there was way too much of it, presented too much like "this is real science!1!", for me to suspend my disbelief and accept it as "in-fiction true".
And when Stephenson got to the biology, which he goes much less into detail on, I felt vindicated. This is Science Fantasy trying very hard to be Science Fiction and it ends up being unsatisfying to me as either.
Is it worse than his early books? I don't know, maybe I've just become pickier as I get older. But I can't recommend this one unless you really like long descriptions of orbital mechanics and you don't know enough orbital mechanics to think it's impossible …

This is an amazing book! The concepts are brilliant and innovative science fiction and showcase the author's background as an anthropologist in both the description of the humans and their interactions and in the unique alien culture they encounter.
This is also a cruel book! It reveals really on that it contains horrors and then it keeps the details from you for oh so long, occasionally dangling them in front of you to remind you not to get complacent.
I'm definitely reading the sequel, but I think I need a break with something lighter first!
