It's intriguing but somewhat boring.

It's boring because the story moves so slowly. It's the first book of a "saga" so we barely get past introductions.

Also it's boring because it says the distant future will be exactly like the day of today. Except without the feeling of constant technological progress. This frustrated me a lot. Humans live all over the galaxy, know a bunch of intelligent aliens, travel instantly, have AI, and live forever. Yet everything else is the same. They go to school, read newspapers, celebrities hide from paparazzi, etc.

A possible explanation for this is that this is the point. Once humans live forever, progress stops. This is a very interesting thought, but I could imagine more interesting ways of conveying it.

The intriguing parts of the book are more obvious. Super mysterious aliens and conspiracies. Can't have too much of those, I say!
