Rated Moonbound 6/10

This was a good but not great scifi/fantasy adventure, it felt like the author was trying for something epic and awe inspiring but bit off more than he could chew. Lots of fun cool ideas, but I didn't feel like there was much pay off. The story is told from the perspective of a sentient fungal computer living in the head of a 12 year old, but I really don't think it added anything vs just telling the story from the kids perspective. There was so much going on in every page, sentient bee hives, geo engineering badgers, ancient mysteries, but it all just blew by so fast with so little depth it felt like 2/3rds of the stuff was just crammed in without any real meaning or emotional effect. Overall I enjoyed the book, the author had a ton of cool ideas, but it didn't feel like it came together as well as it could.
