First impressions of Peter F Hamilton
I don't know how far this will come across and I don't know what others think is well, but I just finished Salvation. The first Peter Hamilton book I've read.
So when I first read it and was getting into the story itself, I was hooked on the main plot line where a team is made to explore an unknown space craft, and on the team are people who have shared experiences with the event prior to happen. The strongest character arc I believe is Yuri's, for me it connects much stronger to what they discovered on this new ship, with cloning, brain transplants and body enhancements. Even though I did find Yuri to be edgy throughout the book, but his character arc was pretty strong.
But unfortunately that excitement, did go down hill as when I got to the second half of the book where I lost interest, and by the end I concluded the book to be disappointing, where I found the plot not lining up, arcs that didn't go anywhere and a very rushed ending that's left on a to be continued. I won't go into detail on what I didn't like, because this post would be very long. If anyone asks what I didn't like about it, I would reply with a bit more detail. Not a terrible book, but not great either. First opinions of Peter F Hamilton, even though it is very hard to ignore the disappointment when reading Salvation, I don't want to be very negative at the same time, because I do like some of the things he wrote in salvation and I want to read more of his work and see how he uses hard Sci Fi in other books, so this isn't going to be a review where I'm just shitting on Peter F Hamilton when I've only read one book and there's multiple books he's written that could be better than salvation. So if anyone has any recommendations on what to read next of Peter F Hamilton, feel free to give some out in the comments and I'll look into reading them next. But for my last question, with everything I didn't like about the book, such as the pointless story arcs, rushed ending, plot line not adding up, do i expect that with other books from Peter F Hamilton?
