          <body><![CDATA[Not great, but considerably better than the first Mass Effect book. None of the awkwardly written and out-of-place sexual tension and generally better written. The story was average, but introduced some new characters and I'm curious to see if they will play a role in the next Mass Effect game.]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[I wasn't expecting much from this and was rewarded in kind. Very clunky writing that was embarrassing to read at times. However, it moved along very quickly and added some color and backstory to the game it was based on, which is why I was reading it in the first place.]]></body>

However, the story didn't really pull me along in any way.
