The Terraformers

A strange read for me; it was good enough for me to get well past the 25% mark where I will drop a book that's just not grabbed my attention and yet I'm not sad that I'll be returning the book to the library before getting to the 50% mark.

It's a huge book! 13 hours, and I'm not even halfway in. Based on the storyline so far, alot of books would be at the back side of the highpoint and winding down to the finish by now. What the heck more does this author intend to present?

I will say the storytelling is really good, very creative environments and characters, but these characters aren't really drawing me in and this is the main reason I'm not sad about not completing this book.

I was blown away by the world-building, future casting, and innovative ideas in this story. The first third of the book is absolutely incredible, and creating huge expectations for the rest of the story. While the last two-thirds didn’t quite maintain that same level of impact I was hoping for, I’m still very glad this book exists and that I read it.
