- interroboink 3y agoAgreed — I was worried the prequel would be a bit of a money grab follow-up on the first one's popularity, but (1) it's a standalone story which is great in its own right, and (2) in the few places where it does have some narrative connections with the original, it is done very well, and tragic/bittersweet.
- anbende 3y agoYes, I am always worried about prequels for that reason, but I think I enjoyed this one more than the original. They are really very different in scope and story as you said, and the bittersweet quality of the connection between the two books enhances the ending of the prequel in my view.
- borg16 3y agothanks, i will give it a read after I am done with the main novel
- woooooo 3y agoWay better imo. The first one is good sci-fi, "deepness" stands above the genre.
- etrautmann 3y agoFar better IMO. One of my favorite books of all time.
