Helpful Score: 1

This is the first of the Change books and I have read it several times and enjoyed it. the only real difficulty I have with it is in the explanation of the nature of the catastrophe. It is inconsistent with the laws of physics and thermodynamics, something the author glosses over. But, once one suspends disbelief, that necessary contract with the author of any book in the SF genre, then it is an engaging read, with good characterization, good plots and subplots, and moves right along. Stirling's writing is consistent throughout the series, characters move in and out in a plausible fashion, and the narrative keeps one engaged.
