Negative Positive
Title: Very enjoyable
Review: This was my first experience with Stross and I very much enjoyed the book. Fans of Amber or other cross-worlds books will find a lot that is similar here. But I do believe this is different enough to make it worthwhile.Miriam is a likiable character. As a divorcee I don't think she is obsessing about her divorce; it is something that changes a person and she is reflecting that change. What Miriam is obbessed with is her own smarts. It is very odd to me that she is alternately very intelligent or very dumb. And she does have a supernatural ability to avoid potentially life threatening situations.The world is different and well developed. The interesection between the two isn't great. The romance was too sudden for my tastes, but makes sense. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
