Actually 3.5 stars but because of the same "drag out" factor, it's not being rounded up.
Don't know how else to say it but about half of Katy's time with Daedalus could have been sheared down and, seriously, WTF is up with what happened in Vegas??? (vague for no spoiler cuts)
I'll be back for the last one, because I have to know how it ends, but I'm not nearly as invested as I was after the second book.
