Lotus Blue di Cat Sparks

I really enjoyed the book right up until the end, which just didn't seem to come up to the standard of the rest of the book. After a really enthralling adventure it really felt like the ending was rushed to its conclusion - hence only 4 stars.

It's not too far fetched to imagine a future like the one depicted within this book, or the causes for it. The more we begin to rely on drones and augmented soldiers to fight wars, slowly but surely handing over more and more control to computer intelligence, the closer we get to the characters in the book and ultimately entities like 'Lotus Blue'.

I'm hoping the ending in this book isn't the end and that there'll be more books in this dystopian future.… (altro)

Lotus Blue di Cat Sparks

Fantastic, interesting use of nano-technology.
A post-apocalyptic tale that is a bit different.

Lotus Blue di Cat Sparks

DNF. Interesting premise and excellent world building hence the three stars. Otherwise, this book annoyed me and I gave up at p.105. I felt like I had to force myself to get through a chapter. Not worth it.

Dark Harvest di Cat Sparks

Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.

A strong Australian anthology with a climate change message. The stories are mostly post-change and how communities have reacted. I'd actually like to read more of some of the stories; some appear to be linked. Recommended.
