A New Sky

Most of this book made me want to give up on it and it pains me to say but until the last 20 pages or so it was quite insufferable (if like me you hate Sabrina and Lexi after 20 pages skip to the end when it's just Maxwell and Trevor I promise it's worth it).
The good:
The author clearly has a knack for world building and by the end you really want to know more about the place he created.
The story has solid bones and didn't pull punches.
Makes good use of the tendency some of us have to root for background characters.
The bad:
Lexi, nothing about that child makes sense, is she 10 years old or 10 months old? For a while I thought she was a developmentally delayed child but then she went all teenage sarcasm and I was back to wondering what the heck was wrong with her.
The progression through time can be confusing, it seems only a matter of hours has passed but it's been days. That makes the characters' interactions seem really weird.
Overall it seems like the first part of the book needed a few more rounds of edits and that was perhaps the most frustrating part about this book it has so much potential to be excellent but as it is it seems unfinished.
