Incredible first half of a book. Excellent last quarter.

The problem with book this long is that it cannot maintain high momentum for fear of boring the reader with minor, quickly resolved conflicts. Unfortunately this book spends a lot of time on biblical allegory. With incredible cyberpunk and fantasy world building surrounding it, the parts specifically about Adam and Eve et al became incredibly tedious and rather spoiled my impression of the story.

5 stars for 3/4 of the book. One for the other quarter.
