Great book, I'm happy to have read it!

While the story on Earth was quite interesting, the story on THE GODS THEMSELVES, as they were, is proper alien. Asimov gives you just enough of their society to keep it interesting, but doesn't go all Solaris on us (no front to Solaris, the dry textbook vibe was the point of the book!). Excited to see where humans and THE GODS THEMSELVES end up. Definitely a book that keeps your attention!

The book makes a good first impression. The characters are memorable, the science is sensible and Asimov's writing style fun as ever. I'm excited to figure out the mysteries together with Lamont!

I really like it. The characters are a bit silly with silly names (Pitterpat? Bobert?) but not too silly or sillily named (looking at you Shadow Moon) that I can't enjoy it

So far, it reads like a novel version of a very long HIMYM episode. As someone who's on their 10th HIMYM rewatch and has read a book before, I quite like it.

Definitely more fun if you've already read Empire Games. Since Miriam's past is somewhat mysterious there too, you're not spoiled for much more than the broad strokes

Fun premise. Alarming similarities to current society. Curious where it'll go

Oof. Glad I finished it this year but I really need some lighter reading now

Fascinating so far :)

Just trying to push through again. Complements are interesting though, hope this can keep my attention for a while
