2.5

This book was giving Battlestar Galactica/Mass Effect vibes in the best way possible until the final chapter where it switched to Mass Effect 3 ending in the worst way possible. Definitely was a 4.5 stars until that ending.

The end feels like you are watching a season of a show that ends on a cliffhanger to find out it has been cancelled. Everyone says it is a standalone but I don't know if a follow-up could recover it.

What a sad way to end my year.
