I've been reading this monster of a book since August. I pride myself on never not finishing a book regardless - but this was a trial. Very clever and well-written, a huge universe of a book, sort of historical fantasy. Full of interesting takes on 17th century history and the development of scientific theory and discovery - but just too much to keep track of. Hence I struggled to pick it up to carry on reading it even though I enjoyed what the author was doing with his words whenever I did.
He has two more, equally hefty, in the series. I won't be reading those.
Not a book I know. My daughter was speaking of a challenge….. reading 100 books in a year. However, decided that might be a bit much! Instead we will share titles and encourage each other along the way
