2.0

The beginning of this book is so slow and the pacing is a little all over the place. I think it shouldn't have least 100 pages shorter. Haven't read many first contact stories, but I found that I didn't really care about the characters or what was happening. 

The books also had some weird info dumping parts where a character would repeat something that happened in the previous couple of chapters in very stilted dialogue. This didn't happen that often, but it was enough that I noticed it. 

Otherwise it's very readable and picks up in the second half, but not enough for me to continue with the series.
