I just couldn’t get into this book after finishing the first. I blame the pace mostly but also none of the characters really moved beyond their original story in the first book so it was  dependent on the plot, but aside from being “interesting” (in a look at our shiny space laser way) it wasn’t engaging. I just powered through to find out what happened at the end but even after finishing the book I didn’t really care.
