Science fiction isn’t my usual genre, but I tried it out with my brother’s encouragement. Overall, it is a very in-depth story with a vast array of characters that bring this entirely new planet to life, which is quite the writing feat. It took a while for me to get into the flow of the narrative, but once I had it, it was easier to digest. What the writing lacked in physical character descriptions, it made up for in thought patterns. Focusing on thoughts over looks gives the characters a lot of substance and is an interesting way to portray character development over such an extended storyline. Now that I have the book under my belt and a lot of extra backstory and reasoning information from my brother, I’m very excited to watch the movies for the first time!
