It opens sci fi fun in the first act and I was hooked, but is less sci fi as the book goes on, and I was a bit bummed by that because that was the most interesting part. The series-of-interviews storytelling format was interesting but it's too bad the book committed to that for the entire duration (hard to imagine it transitioning, it would be jarring, but after a couple hundred pages I would have been fine seeing it go away.)

Still, all that being said, I'll definitely give the second book in the series a try when it comes out.
