Dan Simmons try not to describe every female character’s breasts impossible challenge

«… a massive desk which the tabloids said had once belonged to an assasinated president – not Lincoln – of the pre-mistake USA…»

Martin Silenus the poet is fucking annoying and unlikeable, but at least his story cast a lot of light on the Old Earth and the universe.

Sol the scholar’s story was way more wholesome, but I saw the twist coming chapters away and everything after was predictable and bland. «I love my wife sm» her only descriptor is being «not conventionally pretty» no other traits. Ok man
