Enjoyable, but not as fast paced as previous books

The book is well written and is enjoyable, with plenty of details about late 19th century NY, and a few details about that era that you can learn along the way. While still worth getting it has more space devoted to common life than other previous books in the series, so is a bit slow to start. But once it gets going it's full steam ahead.

In depth character development for several species with Earth on the brink of extinction and still fighting for survival keeps you on your toes wonderin who will "survive" with the meaning of survival itself in question.

Enough in depth characters from several angles make for interesting plot twists that you don't always see coming.

Followig what seems like a fallen hero, made real with personal backstories, the storyline makes for an excellent listen. The "good" guys take enough casualties to make it interesting to see who survives.

The book is engaging in it's ability to keep your attention by tying tidbits of knowledge and folklore to show how drinks helped with the rise of humanity. The infusion of multiple assides and anecdotes keep it interesting to the end.

Short stories with a bit of fun. Good for a small chuckle and some musings on life, but the "lessons" are subtly enough to be enjoyable.

Good narration, which made the characters seem real enough. The story is interesting but became somewhat predictable after a few chapters. It could have benefitted from interaction by more than 2 characters.

The story line is good overall, and holds your interest as things get heavy. Enough back story and side stories to keep it real. Laying out the back stories and side stories made for a slow start, but not too bad.

Being an engineer this was a very good example in how the politics of a project can impact design. And how perserverance can overcome adversity.
