It's official: Planesrunner is an exhilarating read! It's a perfectly balanced tale of science and adventure, and I enjoyed it immensely. I am so glad I have the sequel ready to devour!My favourite aspect of the book is the world-building. Parallel universe and multiplicity are the main concerns of ...

Momentami ciężkawa książka, jakby ten klimat dusznych, gorących Indii za ~50 lat przenosił się do mojego chłodnego pokoju w centrum Europy. Bardzo podobał mi się rozmach autora, który ma wielką wyobraźnię, a co ważniejsze, umie ją przelać na kartki papieru i pokazać innym. Rzadko czyta się książki s...

So incredibly, incredibly sad. Liu enforcers your connection to the characters so easily, making it very difficult (impossible?) to not feel so much.

I thought that the middle section was a little bloated–I got bogged down in the early time o...

I'm trying to find the right words to describe my awe while reading this book... Planesrunner has been on my bookshelf for a long time, I just saw few very good reviews from the blogs I trust and bought it. If not for my book buying ban, it would have stayed gathering dust there for much much longer...

Like any anthology, some stories I really liked, others not so much - hence the 3 stars as a middle ground. However, I do think that many of the stories that I didn't much like were a question of the type of fiction I like, not that they were poorly written. Just not my type of story. Overall, I'...
