Aurora Rising

Leaning very heavily on the YA more then the Sci-fi. Very simple prose. 

Interesting plot with the characters filling out distinct roles. Good amount of originality with some plot twists. Not where I expected the book to go when reading the blurb but I understand needing to market the book. YA isn't to close to my tastes and the middle started to lose me for a second. 

Definitely not a disappointing book, it's got thought-provoking concepts but they aren't the main focus. 

I will read the rest in the trilogy hoping the books will go on a more original trajectory then where I think the plot actually will.
