was A Fire Upon the Deep not good?

Fire Upon the Deep was good, but was sad to find out what happened to Pham Nuwen. Makes the ending to the prequel rather bittersweet.

Loved both books though :) Sorry if I gave the wrong impression.

A Fire Upon the Deep is good. It might not be what you want out of a follow up story set in this universe. It has a heavy focus on a low technology world deep in the slow zone.
I didn't like the Tines stuff. I'd have rather read more about the Qeng Ho.
