3.0

I only read this book because I was curious after the second book’s cliffhanger. It wasn’t worth my time. As a whole, this trilogy wasn’t my cup of tea. Too much political conversation, too much relationship drama—romantic and familial—and the science fiction elements came in too late for me to get invested. By that point, my favorite character was dead, everyone else sucked to some extent, and I just wanted to be done with the series. Now I am, and I’m looking forward to ignoring it forever. Hopefully the next adult sci-fi I read will be better.
