They gotta eat too.

Silicon, copper, and... SINEW!?

The book is finally exploring ideas that are starting to feel born of this world instead of borrowed from others. Probably not fair to many of the ideas previous but I haven't had this feeling until now.

Interesting choices. Its hard to believe what anyone would be like after living that long. Suffice to say I wasn't quite expecting the encounter in the living quarters. Pretty fun so far.

Kind of loving Hadrian's revulsion from the society outside the empire.

Enjoying but not addicted yet. Not sure how I feel about skipping amd referencing a whole arc for the characters involved but I think he may have gotten away with it. Admittedly, it would be too small and slow an arc for the epic scope of the series so I get it mostly.

If I was stuck on one more unplanned planet this early I would have thrown my eReader.
