This wasn't a terribly character-focused book, personally I find that to be a plus (since it's not usually the case in fiction). It remained interesting throughout. Having read plenty of sci-fi, you won't find anything that isn't tropey in some fashion. It's genre-fiction for a reason. Rationalizations for liking/disliking a book are for the birds, you either like it or you don't.
