I'm very conflicted about this book.

I LOVED part one. The writing was gorgeous, the character development was good, I loved everything about it. I had the book from the library, but almost bought it for myself based on the first few chapters.

But. the middle / end got progressively worse. Once they left Earth, it D R A G G E D and was just kind of a bummer. All the characters became unlikeable, but if I was stuck in close quarters with other people that long, I would be unlikeable too
