Gyerekként nem vett rá a lélek, hogy a kötelezőket olvassam, szóval adta magát, hogy helyette az egyik kedvenc játékom univerzumában készült könyvet lapozgassak inkább. Kezdő olvasóként is egész hamar átrágtam magam a könyvön, de dögunalmas volt. Sajnos nem az a fajta unalmas, amit idősebb fejjel már átértékel az ember, hanem az a nagyon pocsék dögunalmas.

Cliche after cliche with flat characters.

its a 3 star book, but I had a lot of fun reading it.

hehehe you can see this books is full of 1 and 2 stars, and some reasons I agree, but others are just so weird, like one review calls the main character a farm girl who suddenly became a militar leader and combat veteran, and.... that never happens? and its not just that she is not even *only* a farm girl, since everyone in the colony is a farmer lmao, she is first of all a really brilliant mechanic, then others reviews says oh her brother died and everyone forgets about it, and Im like... her brother died, we get to know how she feels and why the town reacts the way it does and like 2 days later there is a full blown alien invasion, what? you want her to start crying for her brother in the middle of it?

And dont get me wrong this book was so repetitive and full of useless info and name dropping and shit, like, its not really good? but the main character is amaziiiiiiiiiiiiing and proactive... and a woman, you know, and this books do the horrible oh terrible thing of having TWO women as main characters (and two male mcs too so...)

Also it has differents povs, and for some reason the others reviews are like IT CHANGES POVS SO MANY TIMES, like ok so? lmao idk Im mad

Plot: 4*
Characters: 5*
Writting : 2*
Plot development: 3*
Fun I had: lotsssssss
so 3.8 stars idk

It deserved one star for being utterly boring, but I didn't cringe at it. It was still better than Eragon and Twilight, so here you have an extra star for trying.

Constant perspective jumps. I have a feeling that the book doesn't exactly follow the storyline, but I might be mistaken - it has been a while since I played Starcraft I. The writing looks too polished for the genre, too "arabesque" in my opinion like, some sentenced I needed to re-read to understand them. Short chapters might be a plus but I don't the constant jumping from perspective to perspective.
