Honestly, if Jeff Hayes wasn’t the narrator I wouldn’t have gotten to chapter 62. I gave up after that. And it was a struggle to get there based on the story because by then I had already figured out the plot and there were little to no surprises left the author could throw at me. It’s a typical post alien invasion story, it’s all been done before, which if fine if that’s your thing – more power to you. It was just too predictable and I was bored if not for the delivery of the characters. The basis of the conflicts were strange to me as well, like the author was forcing conflict when there were obvious resolutions already in progress.
Eh. I don’t see the problematic religious undertones other readers had an issue with either – I didn’t get any of that while listening, lots of issues with plot holes and character development but none with religious ideation. But all sci-fi has some of that, I’m looking at you The Matrix and Foundation lol This was an ok read but my particular flavor of ADHD couldn’t keep me engaged enough to get to the end.
