I didn’t enjoy the first half of this book much. I found the main character annoying and I don’t love the authors writing style at all. It’s gratuitous with its explanations of math and science, I didn’t think the details were necessary and made it feel like I was reading a casual textbook -meh not for me. But I wanted to finish because I was interested in where he’d take the story. 

The middle part where me meets a new character is where I started to enjoy it more. That character is fantastic and the last 25% or so of the book was the best part. He moved away from so many extra and unneeded details and into the story and relationship. 

Definitely not a bad book, but it wasn’t really for me.
