3.75. First part of the book was amazing, the middle was way too slow and the end was less spectaculair than anticipated. All in all less than I hope for but I will continue this series for sure. Lots of mystery to be uncovered and battle that need to be fought
The characters were very stiff and mechanically written. Their choices do not always make sense and do not feel well considered and even strange at times. Furthermore, I find it hard to connect with the characters.
The scientific concepts are interesting but even they seem to be a little over the top near the end.
It was also kind of strange that the messages earth had received are then described as a third character observant instead of a message, but that's more of a style complaint.
I hear a lot of awesome things about the second book so maybe somewhere in the future.
4.75 Amazing story, what an ending for one of the story arcs. Really looking forward to pt.3
