Review: Slow start, odd flow, but great book overall
Rating: 3 out of 5

It was very hard to decide on a rating for this book. The lack of proper quotation was difficult to get use to in the beginning, but made more sense for the story later on. The timeline is inconsistent, which again is very hard to follow in places where there is lots of jumping between eras. The last half of the book is great though. There are lots of twists and turns. However, I wish there were fewer characters because it's very hard to keep track of them all. Also some of the middle chapters leave lots of questions about background character stories and motivations behind actions. After reading the author note at the end, I can only guess these questions will be answered in the next books of the series (similar to the Martian Trilogy the author sites in his notes). I would recommend it to the patient reader who doesn't mind a slow plot build up.
