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. ]]>
"It was cheap, so I decided to read the second Mass Effect book even though the first wasn't great. About 30% through, this one is better."

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. ]]>
I appreciated the writing in The Shipping News - Proulx paints incredibly vivid pictures with metaphor and offers a window into a way of life we'd otherwise know nothing about. However, the story didn't really pull me along in any way. I liked the characters and was interested in the setting, and I did finish the book, but I didn't feel all that compelled to keep reading. ]]>

Didn't know you were reading this. Didn't like it or aren't finished with it yet? ]]>

There's actually two books, one that came out before the game (this one) and one that came out afterwards. I've heard mixed reviews on it but I was just kind of curious. ]]>
