Title: Ugh.
Review: Read Illium and loved it. Thought it was engrossing. Couldn't wait to finish it all up with Olympos. But alas... no. This book was just not as good and thoroughly boring. Characters and plots and sub-plots all over the place. I actually stopped caring. When it came time to "wake" up a new character by having sex with her sleeping form, I gave up. Put it down. That's it. If I wanted that I'd read the The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty. I like Simmons work. The Terror was gripping and a page turner. Illium was also great. But this... and then the travesty of Drood. Ugh. Almost lost faith with Simmons. If you want an engrossing and complext sci-fi book, read the Dune books by Frank Herbert. If you want sexed up and pointless characters all over the place in an ever-confusing plot then read this. My two cents.
