I wish I could get into this phase as much as I did phase 1. It just doesn’t pull me in.
There was a lot going on in this book. I’m glad I had the script, as I guess I would’ve had trouble following along with the audio, if only for the number of characters. The script format does lend well to the action-based writing, though. Things unfolded quickly and it contributed to the sense of urgency the author tried to convey.
I did like Keth, as well as the relationship between Aida and Creighton. Unfortunately, apart from them I didn’t care much for anyone. I feel the characters were underdeveloped and the plot itself didn’t feel as poignant as the end of phase 1.
I am mainly continuing with this for the sake of understanding Marchion Ro’s past. Everything else is okay, but doesn’t draw me in much.
