The Mongoliad: Book One by Greg Bear, Neal Stephenson, Erik Bear

2.0

I gave this three stars before I actually finished it, because I wasn't going to be on the computer for the weekend & I wanted to cheat at Goodreads. I admit it. Then I read the ridiculous cliffhanger ending - here's the thing. I didn't really care about any of these characters, I don't plan on reading the second book in this series, & this was one of those things that I just trolled through because I hate to be a quitter. The ending still made me mad. Melodramatic cliffhangers leading into second books which aren't even scheduled for publication for over a year - worst literary trend ever. Worse by far than the sequel itself.
