The end of this novel went in a different direction than I expected. I was drawn into it right away and was excited by the story and the ideas and the potential, but it feels like in the end it left much unexplored.
There was a lot of attention focused on the technical details, research, and visual details of the alien ocean. This did lend a lot to the realism of the world, but I think I would have preferred more about the effects on the characters. We never did get to find out who or what the other character’s ‘guests’ were.
I also wondered about the first version of Harey that was sent up in the rocket… what ever happened to her?
Over all an amazing book that left me wanting more, and one that I’m sure I’ll think about for some time.
