I am surprised by my own rating. I expected to love this, but I couldn't connect to the story or the characters at all. I sort of did, towards the last 15% of the book, but that's a lot of book to get through without feeling much of anything.
In fact, it was incredibly difficult for me to focus on the story at all. I ended up being slightly confused about several aspects because I could not concentrate or remember some of what I'd previously read. And the dual time line didn't help with this for me.
I am shocked to say that a Martha Wells book couldn't hold my attention. I think if I gave it another go, and tried a different format, I might have a different experience. It wasn't bad, but I don't think in a couple of months I will even remember the characters' names.
