The Atlas Paradox

Bad as shit. I don't understand, who decided to publish this book at all (don't want to sound snobby, but it's quite obvious that Olivia was a fan fiction writer). The best part of the book is its last pages and chapters. Literally.
Don't want to go into detail, but literally everything in this book is bad. Pointless dialogues for most of the book, attempts to manipulate scientific jargon to make characters appear smart.
I guess I'll read the third book, just to see how the author can screw it up even more.
