Back to wishing I could rate parts of books. I need to start a new book website where you can rate all individual parts of the book to get a complete view of it.

Didn't like as much as the first, didn't like almost the first half at ALL. It was dull and slow moving. It did finally pick up about half way through and the 2nd half was good enough to make up for the crappy first half. 2 stars for the first 50%, 5 stars for the last 50%. Decided to go with a 4 instead of a 3.

Again with the transcripts that made NO sense. After the first one, I didn't read any of the others. They just took away from the story and gave nothing to it.

For a book set about 30 years in our future, she doesn't have any kind of imagination with coming up with something new. All her references of popular stuff, or used phrases are from now. Such as talking about James Cameron as a great director or the use of the phrase "muggles". So no other big thing has come out since? It would have been better if she made up the name of a movie, a popular TV show, anything, because it was very out of place to have all this advanced tech and crazy superhuman power but absolutely no imagination with the kind of entertainment they referenced.

Knowing nothing about the final book, I'm looking forward to it.
