Thank you to Macmillan/Tor-Forge for sending me an ARC of this title. I received this copy for free and this review contains my honest opinions. 

 

Although I love hard sci-fi stories, I don’t think I was the target audience for this book. In hindsight I probably should have read To Sleep In A Sea of Stars first, but Fractal Noise didn’t seem like it needed the context or world-building already established in order to orientate yourself. My biggest issue with this story was the characters: I didn’t like any of their personalities, their choices, or how they were portrayed throughout the book. I also did not enjoy the ending and really expected there to be more story when I turned the page. 

 

Even though this wasn’t the title for me, thank you again to the publisher for sending me a free ARC.
