Sky's End

The book was a very fun listen and a gripping story. All in all it was stacking up to be an excellent book from start to finish, however I will say I have a few criticisms. Many of the characters in the book seems to have iffy moral compass’s, and did not see the world in black-and-white, this makes them interesting when they have to make moral decisions. However, halfway through the book, everybody just starts always making the moral/good decisions even though they had been set up thus far in the story as morally ambiguous people with iffy moral compasses and motivations. The world of these floating islands had been set up as a place where morality didn’t matter. As long as you rise, it was a gritty place where people were selfish, and then without much revelation, or life-changing circumstances, Conrad suddenly changes up his act a little too conveniently. Even the main antagonist his uncle is shown to be so much softer in the second half. That’s my first criticism. Second was that there was a measured and poignant decision to make many homosexual relationships throughout the story, so much that there’s more time spent on developing those relationships than the cis ones which just felt like an odd choice. Last criticism - gorganton, pischon, mischon, he-schon, she-schon, me-schon, we-all-schon. Cmon man change up the names just a little.
