Almost, but every time I thought of doing so, the end of the chapter would hook me in and I'd wind up reading more. The flashbacks tied back into the story in a necessary way but somehow still felt clunky. The rest of it? I couldn't put it down.

I docked a star because there are some things surrounding one of the characters’ motivations that could have been explained better and I thought the way the author handled religion was kind of weird. Overall though I would recommend if you want a fun sci-fi adventure and don't mind some gory descriptions.
