i enjoyed it a lot just listening to it but i knew i was gonna have to reread it at some point because i couldn't keep a bunch of the male characters straight the voice actors for them and the audiobook sounded so similar

Liked

this is one that i thought was gonna be kind of a mess in the beginning of the book i was just like there are so many things going on here and they're not sitting well together and then i actually ended up enjoying it a lot and i really liked the second half and the conclusion of the story

Mixed

i didn't love it though i have some negative opinions about things in that book that haven't dated very well i do think that brunner is a really interesting writer and i can see the influence of the style and the structure of stand on zanzibar on a lot of other sf works

Liked

it is some really good snapshots of major types of fabric wool linen cotton production things like that and some of the really big social and economic effects of those so it was a really interesting read and i quite enjoyed it

Loved

this is the penultimate volume in this manga series that i've really enjoyed i've talked about it in a bunch of previous book hauls and wrap ups so i'm not going to go into more depth here but yes i've loved it and a lot is happening near the end
