This book was frustrating to read because I didn’t connect very well with the main character. There were many points where I gritted my teeth and pushed through for the sole purpose of uncovering the plot. It did end well, however, with enough of a plot catch that I was interested in reading the second book.

    My first venture in to Sci-Fi. Loved the trilogy. Couldn'y put it down but very disapointed in the ending. I understand that the characters are in charge and direct the author on where to go but the relief I felt after the end of the trilogy, in finding out that the author has a new series picking up 18 years later, is immeasurable. Based on that, I highly recommend the series.
