Same critique as last time: This book is not relevant science fiction and instead political suspense, which I am not interested in. Most of the other problems remain as well. Who wants to read a book about paranoid characters in hiding? My hope for the finale is a strong focus on uniting the world. Get it done OSC. ( ) Overall good. This books follows further down the path with Bean, Petra and Peter. In particular it furthers the relationship of Petra and Bean. I am really liking the stories of this series. These are not action packed rather character driven and most about politics. Having read several of the negative reviews I would say ignore the one star reviews. They are mostly people who simply hate OSC for not sharing their point of few in the world and are intolerant. I read this book in one day (granted, while travelling) so it was good enough to not want to put it down. While it wasn't amazing I am definitely interested in the characters and their arcs. However, I did feel that the writing was a bit heavy handed, childish, and preachy at times. I'm not reading it for the author's craft (if you want that, go run get The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss) but to see where everyone ends up. Ultimately this is the 7th (? wow) book I've read by OSC and it feels like things are getting weaker. However, I'll probably stick it out and read the next one. no reviews | add a review
