Science fiction at its dullest. The author spends a lot of time on character development without ever describing the characters themselves in any physical sense, and when they do, they walk a very fine line on ethic descriptors such as “copper skinned”. This character development is ultimately wasted as we, the reader, don’t ever see any meaningful conclusion to the story, the author opting to see the concluding chapters through the perspective of the two least likeable characters.
It’s an easy read, but it’s like having sex with a man: a lot of hard work and eventually dissatisfying.
