Wrapped up the first book after much struggle. Am I crazy for finding it extremely poorly written? Writing aside, the characters suck, the motivations suck, and the scenario building feels like it was tossed together by a 12 year old. I don’t get the hype. Everything is paper thin. The fictional science aspect is the most compelling part but as a cohesive whole it fails to land.

      Mileage may vary. There are so many books out there, find ones that speak to you. Not that effort in reading is bad, but I think this series is really, really mixed. You can always go back later if you’re curious.
