I loved the concepts in this novel and the establishment portion of the story as we're first encountering the strangeness of life on the planet Kiln had me deeply interested. Sadly, I think the story slogs unnecessarily in the middle and the ultimate conclusion of the book is a little half-baked.
Still, this was a nice introduction to Adrien Tchaikovsky, whose work I have yet to explore.
