Query: One of My Favorite Novels

I had read Dreamships a number of years ago and it has become one of my favorite novels over the years, so I was delighted to find that Melissa Scott had written a companion novel set in the same milleu.Dreaming Metal is not a traditional sequel, and can be read without any prior knowledge. However, it is a follow up to Dreamships and I think a reader who has read the earlier work will have a greater appreciation.The novel picks up some 5 years after the events of Dreamships, and chronicles the creation and growth of an entity which may be an artificial intelligence. The cast of characters is slightly different, and the writing is in some places extraordinary. Like Dreamships this is a slow paced character driven novel of ideas rather than an action packed adventure story.I think it compares favorably with the finest SF novels, and is one of my favorites.
