Dull. Slow. No characters to latch onto. If you've read one generation ship story you've read them all.
Was annoyed by Bob and he was inescapable. Future earth geopolitics very silly. Plot itself is not that new or fresh or interesting. Critique of theocratic states lacked finesse.
Unsophisticated. Main character is a paper doll going through midlife crisis. Aliens are too human to be interesting. Writing is uninspired.
Not a fan of the style. Didn't care about any of the characters. Needed a stronger plot to keep my interest
First person historical science fiction (or alt history) not for me. Reminded me of Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson (which I also didn't like)
Too many povs - too character driven for me (too slow). Plus big epic political dramas are not my thing.
