Neurosis posted:Light is really good. Very dark, there is rarely any unmitigated good. Two of the characters are brokenly dysfunctional and almost completely deplorable. But the setting and writing is so cool it remains awesome. I had trouble getting through Nova Swing. Just didn't feel the same. Felt downright facetious at times. Taking a breather before book 3. Yeah, Light is just superb and its literary style combined with the setting is a joy to read. I, too, felt let down by Nova Swing, but I suspect I'd have appreciated it more if I hadn't read it back to back. Empty Space is right up there with Light in my mind and made me happy I continued reading. Any recommendations what I should read next? Should I just circle back to the Centauri Device?
