Control Point

Okay this book had me in many minds about how to describe it. Mostly because a lot of the characters in the book lack nuance and verge towards being straight out stereotypes. I don't mind stories were everybody has good and bad in them, that's reality. I don't mind conflicted characters, again that's reality. It takes time to fully explain a character and maybe this book has too many characters who need explaining in my estimation. The plot - that is a relentless train coming right at you and that is enjoyable. The world building is enough to be recognizable and alien at the same time, sorry to tell more would be a spoiler. Solid world building and a driving plot get keep me interested in the world and Mr. Cole's writing. Hopefully his characters get a bit deeper and nuanced.
