DNF 50%

Despite the reviews, I wanted to try this. I LOVED Book #1, gave it 5 stars. Someone mentioned this novel was "navel-gazing," and hey, I liked the navel-gazing part of Blindsight.

No. I don't even qualify this as navel-gazing. It's plotless. It's a bunch of people talking about the tech and the layout of the ship (which I don't get because I don't visualize 3D space well) and gossiping about each other.

I thought I was going to try to make it to the end, just because I thought I'd be patient for the plot, but no. It doesn't even continue the story from the first book. I wanted to know what happens with the aliens and Siri. Nope. Nothing. At least not until 50%, and I don't have the patience to wait anymore.
