3.5

The main character of this short book is an awful person who does terrible things, and very little happens in the book that's not focused on him. I've read the Covenant books, so I was expecting a somewhat awful protagonist, but I thought Angus was way worse. And I don't think that Donaldson gave him much in the way of redeeming qualities...I recognized some places where there was an attempt to do so but it didn't feel like he succeeded to me. If I thought it was all going to be like this, I'd not go on to read the rest of the Gap series, but I've been told otherwise so I'm going to give it a shot.
