This is one of the most realistic sci-fi's that I've ever read, which I absolutely love about it. The characters are so believable and well-developed that I feel like I know them like they're my best friends. Their actions are reasonable, very real and expected, down-to-earth, which is what I think has to happen in a sci-fi: if everything is so fantastic and different and unreal, then it just gets kind of sappy and it's easy to predict what is supposed to be "unpredictable". But with characters that would act the way I would in the out-there situations in this book, I feel more connected to the environment and the story. Great job with that!Next the storyline was pretty intense, something I enjoyed very much. The author definitely knows the technology well, and gives very good description of the surroundings and tools they use. All the terms sound right (obviously I'm not going to know everything about it, bet they sound legit lol). I really appreciate that he put all this effort into making it as realistic as possible, especially as I said in these sci-fi situations. There's also some fantasy tied up in it, which was very interesting and fun to read. I like all the mixing of the different sections of the story. The detail was amazing, and like I said it's really nice that there's an author who still knows how to make the book the best it can possibly be instead of getting to the halfway mark and ignoring things that could be fixed. The storyline felt very planned out, no gaps or unexplained bits.I'm definitely going to be buying the second one, and I can't wait for it to come out. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in a good sci-fi fantasy read! This will be the new biggest series!
