I disagree with readers who have used the tag Dying Earth - that does NOT fit this novel or series. The series is about climate change, an actual process that is being scientifically documented as we speak. Dying Earth novels (a la Jack Vance, etc.) are far future affairs where everything is running down and everything is hopeless and despair is everywhere.
Despair is never everywhere in a KSR novel.
A very good novel!
I rated this novel 4 stars because I gave it an "A -" when I read it.
In my rating system, a C - gets one star, and I increase by a half-star with each step up to an A+, which gets 5 stars. One half star is reserved for bombs... D+ and lower.
