I couldn't bring myself to finish this book. I wanted to read entertaining sci-fi, but this was just not my cup of tea. Events are certainly happening fast, but I didn't like any of the characters. And that, as usual, was the death sentence for my reading. It felt to me that there wasn't a single character with real depth. Sure, not every book has to rely on great characterization. But sadly I was not able to find any other parts to enjoy enough to get over the fact that the characters are basically dead to me already.
