Rating: - Excellent, worth reading the first book to get to this one
Great story, highly engaging. I struggled with The Dreaming Void a little as I was in the wrong mindset - I wanted to see what had become of the Commonwealth characters, not this backward Edeard. It was a slow book until the final chapters...

Not so with this one. Edeard's development and a couple of plot twists in the Commonwealth make for a real page-turner.

I have been reading mostly Banks, Reynolds and Hamilton sci-fi in the last few years and its easy to become ... Read More

Rating: - Very, very powerful story...
This second part of the Void trilogy glides perfectly on from the first. The skill involved in melding sf with fantasy on this hugely expectant level is very brave, but crikey, it's simply, uniquely, fantastic.

Plus that I think Hamilton is one of the very few to have created a consistent universe, including delightfully contradictions. I'm wondering why others in this region (Iain Banks, Terry Pratchett, Alastair Reynolds, to mention just ... Read More

Rating: - Magic Realism
Just superb fiction, up Hamilton's best standard. I just wonder however if some of the other reviewers have got it right describing Edeard's adventures in Makkathran as fantasy. I found that part of the work best savoured rather than rushed as it reminded me of the Magic Realism style (Gabriel Garcia Marquez et al. ) which I think would elevate the work to literary fiction rather than Science Fiction.
