The Settlers by Jason GurleyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book takes place over the course of approximately 100 years. The story is about people migrating from a dying Earth to space stations. One space station becomes a sociological experiment (and not in a good way).
I have read more sci-fi books for this reading challenge than I have in my entire life combined. I took on the challenge to expand my horizons in different genres. I will say, though, it is books like this one, that are turning me off from the genre. While I did enjoy the story, the lack of quotation marks for dialogue was extremely annoying and distracting. I do not see the purpose of leaving them out. I would have given this book a 4 because I really did enjoy the story itself.
Unfortunately, this is not the first sci-fi book I have read this year to have a distracting writing style. It's just another straw that is about to break the camel's back. I might have to give up on sci-fi soon.
I read this book as part of the PopSugar Reading Challenge 2018 - A cyberpunk book.
