This book is a book of quantum dynamics, defending an over-powered alien invasion, and a book of manipulative group dynamics on multiple scales.
It's definitely too long (especially Act 3), is a tad overcomplicated, and has a almost-an-end but not quite kind of ending. But I ended up really enjoying the character dynamics and learning a bit of mathematical theory while reading.
Not a book for everyone and has a lot of drawbacks, but I really enjoyed Anna and her messiness as a main character and not really knowing how the international team assembled would solve the problems facing them.
