Okay, so I don't think sci-fi is my jam. I will not likely pick up another one.

This book was so difficult for me to get through, the prose just hard for my brain to grasp. The sentence constructions, the asides, the circle-talk...it was all just too much.

Needless to say I didn't like it. It was as bad a read as the first in the trilogy. The second book was the best one, by far. The only thing I liked about this book was the gay lighthouse keeper and his story line.

This book gets 3 stars, only because of that. The trilogy as a whole I'm giving 2 stars. That's all I have to say about it.
