I think this is three books that I listened to as a single book. Engaging but at times I was thinking “what is taking you so long to figure this out”. Aliens were quite alien but had human thought processes as well. I enjoyed it nonetheless, although I did not care for the Epilog.
Paolini kann vielleicht Phantasie. Eine Phantasie-Story in die Zukunft und den Weltraum zu verlegen macht leider noch keinen brauchbaren Science-Fiction-Roman. Selten so ein uninspierertes und vorhersehbares Buch gelesen.
I originally found a hardcover copy of this book in a "free books" bin, then borrowed the audiobook edition from the library. I definitely enjoyed it, but I never felt emotionally invested in the characters. The episodic nature of the plot made the book feel very long; whenever I expected things to wrap up another conflict was tacked on.
