I hated most of this.

This is basically a mystery. Where did these giant robots come from? Were they left on Earth on purpose or by accident? Were the people who made them gods or aliens or a forgotten civilization? Those were the questions I wanted answers to. Instead I got boringly scientific answers to how they work, what they're made of, what aliens are and are they close to human. There was a lot of talk about DNA and it felt like a biology lesson instead I didn't care to understand any of it.

The first book explored more the questions of time travel and if this robot was left for them on purpose and if it was build for them and if these people who left it there could see the future and meant for Vincent to break his legs. And what would happen if humans discovered they weren't the only species in the universe.

This book just kept dragging on. Because of the format none of the characters felt real. It just felt like you were reading through someone's old research in a field that you don't really care about. There were plenty of pointless "files" that I thought would be explained in the end, but they weren't and I don't think the sequel is going to change that.

Speaking of the sequel: I won't be wasting my time on that. The ending of this book was the only part that offered answers instead of questions and I think it answered all the questions I care to ask. I really don't care to know anything more - especially if it means I have to read through another 300 pages of dull science facts.

If I have anything good to say it's that this was a quick read. But I almost threw it a wall. So it's not really worth it.
