I liked Part one best, found it well written, terse and lots of detail about places and people and happenings.  I like lots of detail.I have been all over this country and know many of the towns, states and cities well.  At the end of Part One I knew I would read every part of the series.  I have the Omnibus edition of 1, 2, and 3.I am on Part 2 now and it is good. I didn't write the book so I won't critique the characters.  But omg Tristan became a bloodthirsty woman fast..and finds it easier to leave people behind to die than I might.  She concentrates on her little brother and her own life.  The 'leaving behind' bothered me to the point of putting the book down (the Kindle Fire actually :)) and thinking about it.  I realize that to save my sons I would leave others behind.  So that was a pass.I found the part where the (enemy mega-killing b**t**d) alien used English to communicate on a tablet a bit ummm...unbelievable.  Then I realized that they were studying humans where Tristan was held captive.  OK, that is a pass.See, Mr. Robertson I am not only reading your books, but thinking (somewhat) logically about them.:)I would say that some instances of travel between places was shortened considerably..I have run up and down and sideways in this country for years..and it takes time to get from A to B.  More than suggested here.  Don't plan a trip to California if you think you can drive it in a few hours south to north. :)  And the mountains here are gorgeous and peaceful..keep the crabby aliens down in the valley!!  Just kidding....I give this series so far ..Part 1 and 2~4 stars because this is a very engrossing, good series and I am enjoying it very much.Now on to part 3.  I bought the 4th one too.PS thank you for no zombies!
