When you wrote “he’s such a good writer”, I assumed you hadn’t read Children of the Sky… a book that urgently needed an editor with a spray bottle and the power to yell “No! Bad Vernor!” multiple times a minute.
Re-reading the preceding parts after Children has also fixed my impression of his writing ability, tbh.

Haha fair point! I have not read Children… (noted in my comment) but mostly because the premise didn’t interest me, and it got shit reviews. But Rainbows End is both a compelling story , and the SFnal ideas/page ratio is through the fucking roof.
