I really should have read the first one. I was a bit confused

Disappointed, loved the first book in this series, but it didn't seem like anything happened for 250 pages. For real they could have told this story in at least half the pages. I did enjoy the last 150 pages. Full review coming.

I found this book to be sublimely boring, full of factual mistakes, astoundingly stereotypical and most of all extremely sexist.
If this book had been written in the fifties I might have understood, but as that is not the case, it just makes me feel like throwing up. There are hardly any women and none are depicted in an even slightly interesting way. They are described as helpless, stupid, fearful, annoying, geeky, etc.
The men of course are brave, dependable, heroic, true martyrs, etc.
It's as if those men who wrote this book have never interacted with women in real life and only know them form books (and those probably written in the fifties).
Most science fiction authors have the decency to imagine a future world where women are more than stereotypes.
My heart weeps for anyone who thinks this a wonderful book.

It turns out to be the second book in a series where I have not read the first, and the action is so tightly connected to the previous volume that I could not make head nor tail of it, and gave up after only 16 pages. For what it's worth, the characters seemed to me to be behaving very oddly, but I was not interested enough to keep reading and find out why.
