I think this is volume 7 of Stephenson's baroque cycle which I've really liked. I found this volume less compelling. Not much happens until the end and I thought it just wasn't as interesting as some of the other books

"Technology is a sort of religious practice to me, a way of getting at the eternal by way of the mundane."

just LOVE.

Finished much sooner than I anticipated, but curiously, it didn't capture my attention in the same way as the former ones. Nevertheless, it was a great listen, maybe I am just slightly jaded after reading six volumes in the span of six months.

The series are still brilliant, this is where we reconnect with Daniel Waterhouse on his return to England which is where the story started 5 books ago.

This is the prelude to the finale, this is where the threads of the story begins to come together and as such this instalment in the series feels slightly as a buildup without its own narrative.

Long, long, continuation of the story. Still pretty good, but damn this takes dedication!

Abrupt ending... need to start the next one.

Not as engaging as The Confusion (previous title in the series). What can one expect, it doesn't have pirates
