Thanks, Steve!
I liked the characters a lot overall, and most of the characterization issues I had were minor. It was Adam and Calyxa that really threw me. I see what you mean about not knowing Julian too wel, thoughl--he's definitely supposed to be an enigmatic character.
You might be right about the ending, too. As you say, not even close to a deal-breaker, but I still can't quite decide how I feel about it.
Definitely City and the City and Julian Comstock were over and above the other Hugo nominations last year. I'd say the same thing about Palimpsest, though, which I'm quite fond of (though it's definitely not a book for everybody).
Guessingo: Spin was an excellent novel, absolutely. Wasn't it Jason's dad that was in charge of the project, though? I could be wrong--it's been quite a while now since I've read it.
Too bad about the sequel. I've purchased it and haven't had a chance to read it yet. Hopefully I'll still enjoy it.
