===Journal===
I was reading and getting bored with Name of the Wind when this got mentioned on reddit. I bought it impulsively, and got sucked in to it when I started reading it. Took me a week I think.
It was definitely good. I'm torn between a 1 and a 2. It's similar in some ways to A Fire Upon the Deep, which I loved. I loved the spider society, with its alternative technology and psychology. I thought the human characters were a bit boring. I guess it was better science than fiction. But well worth the read, and probably more accessible than harder scifi.
===Rating===
1 or a 2. Low 2 maybe.
