I like the author (read through a few of his other series) but it gets a little tiring how often he switches between perspectives. Each perspective is a different plotline and they all tie together in the finale but it feels like a 50-100 page story is being stretched into 300.

Especially since the dialog can be a bit boring imo (each character has some quirk and all their lines / actions tend to be predictable when taking this into account). IIRC, the Children of Time books aren't so bad in this regard (less drama, more reverse-engineering alien tech), but I definitely think the newest book for The Final Architecture kinda suffers from this.

But yeah nonetheless I really enjoy how creative the world building / overall plots are and would definitely recommend his stuff to anyone who likes sci-fi.
