I'm not much of a sci-fi fan and had a hard time really getting into the story. That being said, I think Phillip Williams has an unparalleled mastery of language - almost Shakespearean insofar as it makes you wonder if it wasn't a collaborative effort. It's simply not fair for one person to be THAT talented. I found reading his sentences absolutely mesmerizing. I finally stopped reading for content at all and just let myself be enthralled with the quality of the sentence composition.
Second book is a little bit easier to follow, story-wise.
