Amazing book submitted by severian on June 30, 2021, 9:25pm This book is an awesome adventure. Robinson is a wizard; if you pay close enough attention, you can kind of figure out where the story takes place. He wrote it based on the storytelling patterns from different indigenous cultures, so it’s paced a little differently (in a good way). A beautiful book.
