2.75

2.75 feels generous, but I'm feeling magnanimous today.  Aside from Cronin throwing in absolutely unneeded transphobia, “character development” for a female character via sexual assault, and action sequences that dragged on, it was still somehow captivating. Even though I wasn’t all that jazzed on this world he built of seemingly only cis, straight, white, and quasi-Christian folx, I pressed on and am endeavoring to complete the trilogy if for no other reason than I am a stubborn bibliophile.
