Don't you hate it when a book has you enthralled then changes course and just kind of fizzles? That's what happened to me here. I was definitely in the mood for some Sci Fi, just came off reading a good Sci Fi comic, I'm loving some Dark Matter and I was ready for more, so the stage was set for enjoyment. I liked the main character, I was interested in everything that happened initially and actually wanted to know more about how the galaxy got the way it was. I figured her visions were leading to a specific place and potentially a show down and unfortunately as that time got closer the novel got less interesting. We knew what was probably going to happen, and the inevitable big fight was looming... I have to admit I really, really don't like big fights. I just can't get into hundreds of pages of people shooting each other, closing airlocks, performing maneuvers, etc etc etc. I barely finished this and only my curiosity as to the conclusion kept me going. It happened as I thought it would, so I could have saved myself the trouble, but after enjoying the beginning 3/4ths of this so much I wanted to give it a good shot at completion.
