"Should read "DUST" first. This was a thick read for me clear as mud. Geting used to the plot was like dropping into a war zone, Required alot of time to figure out the characters, Angel like beingsabsorbing each other, Regergatate, OOOOOW! "
— Malia (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

“In this highly readable and surprisingly straightforward novel, Bear continues the story of the Jacob’s Ladder and its inhabitants, effortlessly shifting through multiple perspectives as the plot is propelled onward through an array of disparate landscapes—some eerily familiar.”
— RT Book Reviews
“Bear enhances the usual generation ship themes—social amnesia, decaying infrastructure, and mission-threatening grand calamities—with...new flourishes...to keep readers happily engaged.”
— Publishers Weekly
“Bear’s storytelling is very much her own, and the Conn family’s dysfunctions are of a particular and distinctive flavor. The world of Jacob’s Ladder is magnificently populated, well worth visiting.”
— Booklist

Overall Performance:
" I only made it to page 108 of this book. Probably because it's the sequel of a book I haven't read. I couldn't get into it. The characters and their issues just didn't draw me in. Maybe one of these days I will read the first book and see if that changes things. "
— Samantha, 3/22/2011
Overall Performance:
" Not as good or as exciting as dust but still a good book with a captivating story and characters. "
— LadyCroft86, 3/14/2011
Overall Performance:
" Abandoned at page 32. I'd forgotten how little I was able to get into the first book of the series; this one was impenetrable. "
— D.J., 7/19/2010
Overall Performance:
" It's a sure sign that I'll like a book when it opens in the POV of my favorite character from the previous one in the series. Plus, who can argue with AI angels & basilisks, nanotech symbionts, complex family intrigue, and generation ships! "
— Robin, 6/18/2010
Overall Performance:
" Opaque, confusing, dull. The only characters I cared about in the previous book vanish into unsympathetic amalgams in this one. Strange corners of the world are revealed with neither rhyme nor reason, plots hinge on dei ex machinae and unpredictable revelations. Blah. "
— Mikolaj, 3/18/2010
