"It’s quite interesting, although you have a lot of technical and cultural terms. A very well read person would enjoy Brin’s way with words.
What I really dislike are the characters(or, to put it otherwise: the way the characters are shaped). Too many. There also can be multiple chapters before you encounter the character whose story you are experiencing in this chapter. This makes the writing a bit hard to follow." — Dec 28, 2017 06:08AM

it answered
everywhere

“The worst type of crying wasn't the kind everyone could see--the wailing on street corners, the tearing at clothes. No, the worst kind happened when your soul wept and no matter what you did, there was no way to comfort it. A section withered and became a scar on the part of your soul that survived. For people like me and Echo, our souls contained more scar tissue than life.”

“She gave me peace just by looking at her, which might explain why I looked at her for too long, and with too much intensity in my eyes. The way people never look at people anymore. I wanted her in every sense.”
