There's a kernel of something that I like in here, but it's surrounded by a bunch of stuff that's getting on my nerves, and I'm not about to read this long-ass book just for that little kernel.

Never feels good to DNF a giveaway, but I'm not about to put myself in a reading slump. 🤷🏻♀️
There was interesting stuff going on in the setting, but there was way too much technobabble, I didn't care about the plot or the characters, and none of the humor was landing for me.
