"Never is an awfully strong word"-Marez.

Well...I would never recommend this book to anyone.

You know the curse of the second book in a series? This book felt like the second book in a trilogy to me... but it was a stand alone book. I was so annoyed because it just dove right in and didn’t really explain much. While I was reading I had SO many questions…ALL of which went unanswered...I really wish I had written them down now just so I could add them here.

I also felt like this story couldn’t really decide what it wanted to be. One minute it was just a normal sci-fi storyline but then it turned into a war story, then an adventure, then a religious theme popped in, then a love story came into play complete with the overused love-triangle theme, then it became a murder mystery…then oh yeah-bach to the war story... like, what? If the author had just picked a couple of those, I think I would have liked it more. It just felt like it was trying to be too much too quickly. And the ENDING...felt SO rushed to me. Like the author was running out of space or time to write.

Overall, very unimpressed. Getting through this book was an absolute chore for me.

The one line I really liked:
