Drago mi je da ti se svidela knjiga. Ja sam je pročitao u martu, pre nego što sam ti preporučio. Evo mog reviewa sa Goodreads (nema spojlera):
Trenutno čitam The Murderbot Diaries. Poprilična trasheraja, ali videću šta mislim o serijalu nakon što ga završim.
First of all: this is among the best novels I've ever read. I've read a lot of sci-fi and this beats the best of them. It's filled with excellent, mind-expanding ideas, beautiful prose, complex characters who develop through very difficult dramas and layered, evolving game theory situations. It has medieval fantasy, cinematographic space opera, just the right amount of implied hard sci-fi, political and trade intrigue, top-tier character (and creature) design, and, most importantly, heart-pounding suspense throughout. The wordsmithing paints a vivid imagery in the reader's mind and you can't help but care more and more about the fates unraveling through the pages.
The heroes are imperfect yet serve as great archetypes to look up to, the plentiful villains are bone-deep scary, the plot is intelligent and complex but easy to follow, the subtexts are visionary yet relevant, the stakes are insane, the fantasy is colourful and believable, while the pacing is masterfully spinning the reader's attention around this wonderful adventure. A Fire Upon the Deep made me laugh out loud on trains, it made me cry uncontrollably on a plane, and kept me awake at night in terror.
This is re-reading material. It also checks out the Bechdel test and future multiethnic representations with stellar marks. Do yourself a favour read it, even if you're not a fan of the genre. If you read one science fiction book in your life, this should be it (besides the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, of course, but that's an entirely different kind of literary delicacy).
It's great to be alive and be humbled by such a high level creative work as this. Thank you, Vernor Vinge.
