Now that I've read both halves, I can comment on the work as a whole. I have to say that I did not like it as much as I was expecting to, based on past experience reading Willis and on reviews from other readers. It just seemed too long, too slow to me. This is 100% a matter of personal taste, and I might like / have liked it better reading at another time, even. I don't want to get too specific for those who haven't read them, but I wasn't crazy about the time travel theory element, either.
Which is not to say it's a bad book, but, of her novels, I prefer Passage, and I think she really shines brightest as a short story writer.
