Title: What the heck did I just read?
Review: Let me start by saying that I have have read and absolutely loved seven other Dan Simmons novels. My expectations were high given that I have enjoyed the aforementionerd novels, I love SF and that this was an award winning novel. For the life of me I cannot figure out why this won anything. In lieu of a story, more than 50% of the text is concerned with descriptions. Endless descriptions. In addition, it is a confusing mess of terms and places invented for this universe. Don't waste your time.
