Keith Stevenson reviewed Gardens of the sun by Paul J. McAuley
Review of 'Gardens of the sun' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
A competent sequel, Gardens of the Sun feels very much like a 'middle' novel. The character pieces are moved around the board, a couple reach the end of their particular story arc and enough interesting stuff happens to keep things ticking along. But I'm now waiting for a big payoff in book three. In the meantime, McAuley does great work rendering outlandish but believable habitats in some of the most remote and inhospitable parts of our solar system. Solid SF.
