Dawn

I really wanted to love this book, and I did at first, but I was let down in the end. Lilith is such a cool character and a part of me wants to find out what happens to her, but damn that ending. I felt the same way while reading the Pern series–can't they just get rid of that thread!?! It's frustrating, and not in a good way. Maybe I'm just too used to neat endings, but I honestly don't think that's it...Tigana ended in a cliff hanger (and there is no sequel to that book, but I still loved it!) I guess I just felt cheated while reading Dawn. For me, this story was built up to have this resolution, and then there isn't any! I don't know... maybe I'll pick this series back up in a few years, but for now it's just not my cup of tea. That being said, the storytelling is top notch and I thought it was very original (plus, I was really missing the whole science fiction because I've been reading a lot of fantasy). So overall, not a bad read.

3 out of 5 stars
