Status Updates From The Disestablishment of Par...

The "Biography" conceit of the main character's time on the planet during and after disestablishment is wearing thin. Like Umberto Eco's The Island of the Day Before, I wish I was hearing it all directly from the main character. There feels like a lack of tension and mystery, and events happen without much plot driving.

So far, this ain't no action-packed blockbuster. It's all slow character-building so far, but at least I've made it to Part 2 still invested. I look forward to more wonders of the planet being described.
