POV: one (Ia's) 
 Narration: from third person 
 Tense: past 
 With this book I could read only one chapter per day. It was so boring that I just couldn't read more. I was hoping that the story would improve, but after six long chapters I understood that the whole book is like that. 
 This is my first military science fiction. So maybe I am just not used to this genre. But for me it was too dry and had too much info dumping. But even that wasn't the main problem. 
 The problem was main heroine. I couldn't like her. Ia was too self-confident, arrogant and snobby. I also didn't like how she was dismissing other people just because they wasn't important to the future and was sucking up to those who would help her future plans. 
 So I think that the book and I need to say goodbye to each other and go our own way.
