Hey! I recently finished reading this, and am almost through the prequel (A Deepness in the Sky). Outstanding Sci-fi/political drama/fantasy. These are a tier below Stephenson, Weir, and the Children of Time books, but if you're through those, these two would be my next picks. This book and its prequel share pacing, plot flow/tension, and character archetypes, but differ significantly in the environments and levels of technology they describe. A Fire is more mystical and fantasy, while the prequel is more Scifi. If you enjoy one, it's likely you'll enjoy the other. I'm enjoying the setting and conflict more in A Deepness personally.
