3.0

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first two books, mostly because I never really warmed up to two of the point of view characters. These books all have multiple points of view - the first one had two and the second and third have four. With the previous books I enjoyed everyone's storyline, not this time. One because her part of the plot was the most frustrating and the other just because I didn't enjoy his personality. The most frustrating part of the book was the plot against Holden - all because someone decided to take revenge on him for stuff that wasn't even his fault. I did enjoy everything else about the book - everything having to do with the artifact and finding out more about the aliens that had existed in the universe long before humans. I wish there'd been more of that part of it.
