I felt like the plot was a little forced around a very cool concept.

Dark and gripping.

The only reason I finished this book is because I have insomnia.

I think it was mostly the writing style that bothered me. It's hard to pinpoint exactly but it felt like a lot of the author stepping back from the story and saying “and this happened because reason but of course Character A doesn't know this” instead of explaining things through the narrative/characters. 

It felt like some things just happened without any explanation or reason simply to advance the plot (or make up for the lack of plot).

I understand that sci-fi requires a certain suspension of disbelief but some things were just too silly. Like ant computers—come on!?

Interesting enough to finish but missing the pull that many other books have. Not my wheelhouse, but some of the topics feel a little forced. The ending felt rushed, and this book doesn't stand on its own. Likely won't continue the series.
