• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

4.5

Hard science fiction. Most of the characters are used as vehicles to explain difficult scientific concepts to a general audience of readers. Therefore, character dialogue can seem stifled if you expect character development instead of plot progression. I often felt like I was reading a dense nonfiction narrative.
