Spencer Tolman’s Reviews > Empire of Silence > Status Update

Very boring. Nothing really happens for about 450 pages. Then when something finally does happen, it doesn’t seem or feel to actually progress the book. A whole lot of nothing. Feels like it really tries to be something like Dune, copying a lot of different things like mentats and other concepts. I really wanted to enjoy it, to enjoy the main character, but I simply could not.
