I really enjoyed the concepts around the Dreamers and life on Trebor, but something fell flat in the execution. The writing was a bit threadbare. I would have liked for Brown to include more descriptions of Trebor's environment and the Keepers' and Resistors' dwellings. It seemed very focused on describing action sequences and thought processes, and I would have appreciated more atmospheric moments to get a feel for this alien environment. I didn't understand Lauren's commitment to Roxal, and I would have liked Brown to develop their relationship more. It seemed like when they were together it was mostly for work.
