Very little plot or action. All about the characters. I guess this is the softer side of sci fi? Definitely works for me.

This kind of story is just not for me.
Did not finish the second of the two.

3.5

Such a slog to get through. I don't normally want to read abridged versions of books, but I'd welcome that here. Ultimately, interesting things do happen, but there's lots of tedium in between. I won't be reading book 3. I'll look for a synopsis.

3.5. This was definitely a page turner and definitely evoked a lot of emotion. However, some of the characters I loved started to feel too good to be true, which sometimes broke the spell. The book felt a lot like a TV show, somewhat like a soap opera. I often loved this book while I was listening too it, and I suppressed any niggling, “Really?!”-type thoughts. I'm glad to have “read” it, but I have no desire to continue with the rest of the series. I'm satisfied with having read the Wikipedia synopses of the other 6 books instead.

Way too much politics for me. Couldn't stop zoning out.

I don't know what I feel about this book. Will keep going through the trilogy though.

2.5 Factually interesting but written a bit too dramatic for me.

Couldn't decide btwn 3.5 & 4.

I considered abandoning this many times. I'm not entirely sure why I kept going and finished it.
