2.5

Of the 500 odd pages, plot only happens in the last 150. Leicht has way of writing interesting worlds which is what kept me hooked, but this book was a drawn out road trip back and forth across the universe with no real stakes because everything gets wrapped up quickly. As a reader I struggled to connect with the many cliche POV characters; the AI character, who arguably had the most interesting plot line of being stranded on a alien planet, had one chapter and when we finally come back to her all the interesting stuff has to be told to us through monologue.
