Wrapped up the first book after much struggle. Am I crazy for finding it extremely poorly written? Writing aside, the characters suck, the motivations suck, and the scenario building feels like it was tossed together by a 12 year old. I don't get the hype. Everything is paper thin. The fictional science aspect is the most compelling part but as a cohesive whole it fails to land.

Out of curiosity, have you read Stranger in a Strange Land? I won't say the character work is amazing, and it does feel a bit dated, but I find it to stand out in the genre.
