Drayden has a good sense of humor. There are some very cool ideas in here. I love the mix of ancient lore and futuristic tech, and the big fight with Sydney at the end was great. There were some parts of the story that just felt odd. Like humans behaving in ways that humans don't really. Certain reactions seemed cartoon-y/ overdone for plot purposes. I didn't know how I felt about the handling of Mr. Tau's character. He does some questionable things, and it was odd to me seeing some of the characters who are close to him and know these things not grapple with that.
