I have no idea who Nemes really is, but I hate her already anyway. What a horrible, vile, hypocritical person.

Every time they talk about the wraith on this ice-world, I just keep picturing these guys:

Two hundred pages left!

Almost halfway through the book and they're only now just escaping for the first time, ready to start on their mission. Too much time spent on this part, especially on the parts with de Soya. I like the guy, but a lot of that chase was super unnecessary.

An eleven year old girl implying that she and her protector, a twenty-seven year old man, will someday shower together is just a leeeeetle too much for me, her ability to see the future not withstanding.

I am loving what Simmons is doing with religion in this book (and series) so far. So interesting. Especially since I was raised Roman Catholic, and that's the religion most under the microscope here.

OMG the scene where Silenus gives Raul his mission . . . so much sarcasm. And such seriousness underlying all the ridiculousness. It's so good. So many impossible tasks. Find Earth and bring it back. Find out "what the fuck the Technocore is up to" and stop them. Get the Ousters to give Silenus true immortality. Destroy the ruling theocracy of alien parasites. Stop the Shrike. Save the girl. Raul's just like CHECK.
