So for me, I’d argue that in book three, the big idea is actually more important than it was in book one. My series wasn’t originally a trilogy, so every book has its own big idea. For some writers, it’s probably less important, as perhaps they had the big idea for the series figured out ahead of time. Almost certainly there was a big idea that kicked off the series, but when you’re on book three, as I am with Colonyside, it’s different. The concept of a Big Idea can have a lot of different applications when it comes to writing a series when compared to a single book. What happens when people see us differently, and can those differences fuel the plot of a book? This is one of the questions Michael Mammay asked himself for his novel, Colonyside. We view ourselves in a certain way, because we live with ourselves on a daily basis. In the process, he reinvented the field of architecture.īrunelleschi's Dome is the story of how a Renaissance genius bent men, materials, and the very forces of nature to build an architectural wonder we continue to marvel at today. It was offered not by a master mason or carpenter, but by a goldsmith and clockmaker named Filippo Brunelleschi, then forty-one, who would dedicate the next twenty-eight years to solving the puzzles of the dome's construction. Of the many plans submitted, one stood out-a daring and unorthodox solution to vaulting what is still the largest dome in the world. The dome would literally need to be erected over thin air. On August 19, 1418, a competition concerning Florence's magnificent new cathedral, Santa Maria del Fiore was announced: "Whoever desires to make any model or design for the vaulting of the main Dome.shall do so before the end of the month of September." The proposed dome was regarded far and wide as all but impossible to build: not only would it be enormous, but its original and sacrosanct design shunned the flying buttresses that supported cathedrals all over Europe. The New York Times bestselling, award winning story of the construction of the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence and the Renaissance genius who reinvented architecture to build it. We're just being introduced to the author's world and ideas…naturally. Good exposition gives us information in the flow of the story. Also, and unfortunately, most of Baxter's books are lessons in how not to handle exposition in a story. However, the characters are forgettable and are basically mouthpieces for the physics lessons. I re-read passages to understand the scope. In true Baxter style, Manifold is a canvas for awesome cosmological theories and implications. That being said, I have enjoyed three of the four Baxter novels I've read to date, including this one. I enjoyed attending Stephen Baxter's class…wait, this was a novel? Manifold: Time is the epitome of a Baxter three-star effort: some mind-bending ideas about the cosmos, a plot, some classroom lessons, some bad exposition of facts and some cardboard characters.

There are plenty of instances where the typical YA HEA just doesn't make sense and End of Days is certainly an example of this. End of Days ended abruptly after a large battle scene and Ee swiftly brought about the HEA as though there was always one way for this book to end - Penryn and Raffe becoming a couple. I wanted End of Days to be absolutely epic, particularly given that World After ( book 2 in the series) felt like a placeholder. I really went into End of Days hopeful but alas it seems that my hope is sadly misplaced. Penryn has fallen deeply for Raffe but after seeing that he hasn't always been faithful to his friends, Penryn must decide if she can trust him not with her heart but with the fate of all humanity.
