I really enjoyed the worldbuilding (how the zeroboxing sport originated, the difference between Terrans and Martians etc) and the fight scenes were exciting. The second half is honestly a four-star book to me but I found the main character so annoying in the first half (the way he describes women made me want to deck him) and the inexplicable romance was SO bad that I knocked it down to three.
