I’ve enjoyed other books by the author and was looking forward to reading Dissolution. I loved the premise of the book and was looking forward to it unfolding. I don’t often read sci-fi so it made a nice change to read something out of my comfort zone. This is not the type of sci-fi I usually enjoy but the author managed to reel me in. I also liked the fact the main characters were an elderly couple. I enjoyed reading this and would recommend it.

There are a lot of sci-fi books out there with cool ideas but poor writing or one-dimensional characters.

Happily, Dissolution backs up its cool ideas with a very readable story and strong characters.

This is my second Nicholas Binge book, after Ascension, and he's 2 for 2 now for me. This one improves on Ascension by virtue of the main characters, an octogenarian couple whose life together is tenderly drawn. I won't give away any plot points but there's lots of fun sci-fi concepts, set alongside the more mundane settings of old folks homes and after-school clubs for Maths nerds at Uni.

The ending didn't pan out exactly as I might have liked, but such is life!

Highly recommended. I'll look out some other Binge books this coming year.

Interesting idea that drew me to the book.
It's clever, and I wonder if it was too clever for me.
I enjoyed it, but not as much as I'd hoped going on other reviews.
I never really connected with any of the characters ,and the opening part, getting to the point took a while longer than I'd have liked.
It's different though, and for that alone, it's worth picking up.

An aquired taste. I enjoyed Ascension but felt it needed more and whilst Dissolution is a brilliant story, it failed to reach the highs that were expected.
