Oh how I wanted to like this book more! I had really enjoyed Robopocalypse and its sequel by Daniel H Wilson when they came out, so I was really interested with this first contact type novel based on its description. I was very hopeful when I got an eARC from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
The main problem for me with this book was that I didn’t care about any of the characters. I understand that writers trying to make characters realistic, and giving people flaws can make them interesting and maybe even relatable. However, the alcoholic deadbeat dad and his redemption arc were just not something that I cared about at all. It also felt very trite to me. That made it really hard to get invested in anything that happened in this book. I’ll check out Wilson‘s next book, but I would give this one a pass.
