2.5
Strong concepts, incredibly poor execution. It was written like I would have the entire knowledge of geography and politics of this alternate earth that has alien connections. I did not receive this knowledge. The book also attempted to create a strong story by showing generations of alien hybrids but it felt stilted and that there were too many characters, as a result they felt lumped together.
