It took me nearly two weeks of trying to get into this book before I had to just call it quits. The sci-fi concepts and world building were very complex and seemed to take up 90% of the content I read. There was barely anything by way of plot, and hardly any excitement at all. This book is very character-heavy and lighthearted. I definitely agree with the other reviews of it being like a soap-opera. I am not one for soap-operas.
