Unlike other reviews, this is the first book by Alastair Reynolds that I can read, I would even say that is readable. Writing is lighter than in these other novels, the description is understandable without being too much or not enough, there is no need to read 3 times each page to understand what the characters and the story mixture no nonsense. I put resign to read this author, but I'm glad I test again.
Finally the atmosphere and history are really good.
Lack can be a good rebounding is fairly linear. In the end we lack a bit of info about the defect to extrarestres Zoo those who built it.
