I liked this book - it has enough people acting like people that it really hooked me, which is unfortunately something that not a lot of space operas try to include. I do feel kind of annoyed that some of the things about the imago tech were talked up a lot - its secrecy, its danger to the psyche - but we didn't really end up seeing those things realized. Seems like everybody and their dog knew about the imago-machines before Mahit got any chance to tell them, and if they didn't, she told them right away.

But I digress. It was a fun read, and I'm looking forward to reading the next one - just, not yet.
