The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal

2.0

The books started really well, but the more I read the more it bored me. It generally lacks imagination and is full of unneeded fluff. The protagonist is painfully bad at thinking about anyone but herself, a problem which is especially apparent as she is continually surprised by her long time friends different experiences of the world due to their race.

Contrived writing and dialogue, annoying relationships, and boring plot. I stopped near the end because I simply did not care anymore.
