A story about this — 3 years ago
Bought at Powell’s during my recent trip to Portland. I read this over the Christmas holidays and discovered that, while it has very engaging characters, the author forgot to include a central conflict that could be solved by the protagonist. Result: a little deus ex (in my opinion) was required to wrap up the story. Don’t read it with your critical “grad student in literature” brain, but rather with your “sci fi” mind, and you will enjoy the ride.
