Timeweb Chronicles #2
The Web and the Stars
In Timeweb, Brian Herbert introduced readers to the fantastically beautiful galactic web of space and time that interconnects the cosmos, which can be used as a transportation infrastructure for sentient starships. But the web is unraveling, threatening to plunge the universe into oblivion.
Galactic ecologist Noah Watanabe is struggling to hold the cosmic filigree together, while the evil shapeshifter race of Mutatis threatens to use a doomsday weapon against humanity. Noah has his own paranormal ability to journey into the depths of the universe, but he has made enemies of his own, including a third powerful force determined to destroy humans and Mutatis alike.

It is very rare that I don't finish a book, but I had to put this one down. It is, to put it plainly, awfully written.
I enjoyed Timeweb. I thought it had some promise, and some interesting ideas to explore.
This book, however, reads like a first draft.
It was very poorly plotted, with character motivations that sway between adolescent and incomprehensible. Dialogue was awkward, exposition was repetitive, and the writing felt generally childish.
I simply couldn't finish it.
