I didn't like this book and I didn't dislike it. It was interesting but not necessarily enjoyable to read about how the hierarchy of a ship's society worked, and the second narrative complementing the first was compelling. All in all, however, I wasn't too invested in the story, and I don't think I'll continue with the trilogy.
