The characters were interesting and complex and I had a hard time deciding weather to like or dislike most of them. Partially in consequence to the story being told through interviews and files some relationships felt slightly underdeveloped. Some parts of the stories and characters do fall into some literary clichés.
At times the story lept forward a little faster than I personally prefer, adding to it's overall fast pace. It sets up a lot of points that don't get a complete conclusion (not necessarily a bad thing) building up to more further into the series.
I do have a few annoyances, none that I felt ruined the book but worth mentioning none the less. Firstly the relationship to the mystery man. It was at times comedic how much the characters were willing to share in the interviews, even Kara who was more drawn back. The development of the characters was interesting, however I felt some lack of consequence to some of their actions and behaviours.
Over all the story still had me flipping through the book at record speed and I'm excited to find a copy of the second book and see where the story goes. Recommend it to anyone that is new to the sci-fi genre (like me) as well as slow readers (also like me).
Moderate: Sexual content and Violence
Minor: Torture
