Review: I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

The story is plausible and the concepts and characters are interesting.  There is some unnecessary detail which makes the book longer than it needs to be.  Elements of the plot which occur late in the story can be surmised early on, because the author drops too many hints.  But the thing that annoyed me the most is the style, or more properly, the lack of style.  at times, it seemed that every sentence was constructed in exactly the same manner.  It made some of the descriptions a bit boring.  I'm glad that the way the characters spoke, did not have the same problem.In theory, I'd give the book 3.5 stars, but since that isn't an option, I'll go with 4.
