Read very slowly over the Spring and Summer of 2015, immediately after finishing A Fire Upon the Deep. Took me ages, probably because I was in the thick of my first year of teaching, but I did definitely think 'this is too long' a few times. Not sure if that's true or not.
I enjoyed it a lot, especially by the end I had warm fuzzy feelings. I kinda feel like the ending was a bit too Harry Potter 'and all was well', but it was well-written.
Vinge really knows how to make weird aliens, and to invent strange ideas for future societies.
