So, anybody else really unhappy with this much touted novel? Finished it today, and am so very frustrated. It doesn't go below No Award, but really, I was hoping for so much better.

Will talk to anyone who wants to talk in comments. Spoilers a-ok in comments.

Arghhh.

Um, you are right, and I wrote sloppily. I think that the historical fiction unbalances the book because the historical fiction has so much more power and weight than the science fiction.

(I am hoping that responding to this takes it out of moderation.)

Hmm, maybe. It might have lighter impact to someone who grew up with talk about the Cultural Revolution around them. And apparently it was the third volume of the series that really got people hooked.
