I.F. Adams's Reviews > Points of Impact

A bit of a grind, but you know what, I think that was the point. Its a somewhat hopeless war, and the characters and the equipment are both getting worn out, fried, and generally burnt-out and on edge. Points for having characters develop in "real" ways, instead of being supermen/women who can endlessly take anything with no repercussions.

The downside is the story a bit of a ramble at times, and while I definitely care about the main characters and their trials and tribulation, extended descriptions, as an example, of how stupid/awesome the new fleet uniforms are feels a little like bolted on filler.

But you know, back to what I started with, maybe the whole point was feeling alienated, worn out, and even a little bored.

Hat tip to Mr. Kloos, and looking forward to the next one.
