Title: Pretty pictures to satisfy concept-art nerds
Product review: I quit reading about 1/5th of the way in because the story was beyond tedious. It's really just a concept art book with a boring story slapped on. It seems clear that Chiang is a talented artist who is completely out of his element when it comes to actually ILLUSTRATING. Telling a story with pictures. I've never read any Orson Scott-Card before, but I can't imaging any writer worth anything wanting to have their fingerprints on this train-wreck.
