I read redemption ark without going through chasm city, and I certainly wasn't lost (as I would be in a Peter f Hamilton) but I think maybe will read it before doing absolution gap. It introduces a major character in the later books, it introduces an important technological advance, and I think there'll be more about the mademoiselle. The prefect is also set on chasm city but a couple of centuries before, and galactic north (also on the blog) I should have read after getting into the whole world a<br />bit.<br /><br />2066 I gave up on. I enjoyed the first section with theo e triangle, but i can't even remember what happened after that. Not much, and slowly I suspect. Savage detectives I'll keep an eye out for.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09824401113801295302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147359235322827925.post-20034146209241406442012-01-09T09:21:03.393-08:002012-01-09T09:21:03.393-08:00Coincidentally, I've just finished this book i...Coincidentally, I've just finished this book in between sections of <i>2666</i>. I had an inkling you'd reviewed it. I think 2012 might be the year I discover SF. Thought <i>Revelation Space</i> was fucking great, especially the lighthugger with its rats and voids and putrid recesses. For me the ship was the standout character. Also loved the ever-present entoptics. Now back to 2666 which isn't giving me the same joy that Savage Detectives did.<br /><br />Have you read <i>Chasm City</i>, and would you say it's worth reading before <i>Redemption Ark</i>?zungghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09589765282573457784noreply@blogger.com
