#FinishedReading this great mess of a book. The first act is a nearly plot-free wall of exposition that I only stuck with because I've enjoyed other #NealStephenson before. The second act, with its focus on the character of Nell and her 'magical' book, really clicked me for me and sucked me in. And then the final act was an avalanche of plot developments and the characters went missing. Disappointing. #Bookstodon#SciFi @bookstodon
