4.0

This was a good read but suffered the same problem as the first of being mildly incomprehensible at times. When I knew what was going on I was having a great time but sometimes I felt like I was trying to read the book in French. I will say, the mind games regarding the Cheris/Jedao situation were fun! Is it Cheris? Is it Jedao? Some unholy combination? Not only were the other characters having to deal with it but I also was constantly having to recalibrate my opinion! 
However, really didn't enjoy the genocide that happens and the weird incest was... a lot? This trilogy is very much an experience and you just have to accept that the author has made some unusual choices.

Wow, how did this manage to be even better than Ninefox Gambit? Maybe it's because I went into it with a basic understanding of the world and how all the calendar weirdness functions, but this book sucked me in even more quickly. I came to be rooting for all the main characters, even as they worked against one another's goals. Brilliantly done!
