In Ascension by Martin MacInnes

I am not quite convinced by this book. It leaves a lot of things unanswered and doesn't really end on a satisfying note. I do not mind ambiguity in books but I feel that if we are spending majority of our time in the dark, there should at least be another aspect that will make up for it. Otherwise, i just don't understand why I should be reading it at all. The dialogue is very clunky. The main character, Leigh's, reflections aren't nearly as novel as she the book wants it to be. While the plot was interesting, I felt that the author didn't really explore it as much as I would have liked. It wasn't bad but it didn't stand out to me.
