Title: What Hard Work!
Product review: I love Trish Sullivan's work; I was absolutely enraptured by Lethe. But Dreaming In Smoke had me drowning in math, strange arguements, and a world that would have been better served if the author (luv ya, Trish, really!) would have spent less time on the mechanics of the colonist's existance and more on the mechanics of their emotions. The biggest problem with the book is that I really didn't feel like Azamat Marcsson was much of a threat or why the book spent so much time revolving around his experiments. Not to admit a cheesy past addiction to Nintendo or anything, but dern, I wanted to know more about what life was like for Ganesh during this crisis, it's almost as if the sky was falling, but nobody bothered to spend enough time talking about how and why. And yes, what WERE the fights with the dead? And yes, I would wait and buy it second-hand as well in hindsight.
