Children of God

Didn't enjoy this one so much as the first. Taking more than 6 months to finish it is a clear sign of that.

While the first book was religious but tolerable, the second one focus much more on this side of things, rendering all the other themes to the background (even the interesting political situation of Rakhat).

The other issue are the characters, so many on that ship, and you really can't tell them apart. Maybe the issue is that they aren't at all likeable... Hell, I don't even remember their names anymore. There was John, Carlo, the giant guy with a heart of gold, the one with indigenous background...

I won't drag. This one really didn't fit with me. The only part that was enjoyable was before Emilio went against his will to Rakhat again. That was where? At 20% of the book maybe?

Conclusion: Too much religion, too many characters (both human and alien), passable ending.
