I really enjoyed this story. It had all of my favourite things - space battles, a badass woman doing badass things, technology gone mad. And from very early on I was hooked on these characters and what was going to happen to them. 
 My only real problem was the formatting - the chat logs, the black pages with white text in strange patterns, the pictures. It was fun at first but eventually it felt distracting, it started to get hard to read and ultimately it felt gimmicky. The story was good. It was compelling and filled with a number of twists I did not see coming - it didn't need all of this extra stuff. Those things just distracted from what was underneath. I'm going to continue with this series but I might try book two on audio instead.
