Sea of Tranquility

This book moves at light speed and is loaded with foreshadowing, Easter eggs, and plot point teases. I tried to set it down to grab something to eat and later to go to sleep but it stayed relentlessly glued to my hands. Mandel is truly gifted as you'll know if you've read STATION ELEVEN, but I'd say that her style is on par with the all-time greats. She comes off comfortably in her element in this realm of genre fiction, and specifically SF. It's difficult to say too much about SEA OF TRANQUILITY without spoilers so I will just say that it completely blew me away, and surprised me over and over with revelations that I didn't see coming. It is well deserving of a 5/5 star rating.
