Discuss the characters here

Great character progression in this book - talking too much about them will definitely lead to spoilers, so be sure you are done (or don't mind spoilers before you read this.

The story is all about the characters. When it starts, the main characters are minor characters in the universe set to die on the next away mission. They twist it by making themselves major characters to lead the charge to save their lives.

As part of this, one dimensional characters (like Kerensky) become multi-dimensional and much more interesting. Also, seemingly completely unimportant characters become pivotal.

If someone were to ask me to recommend a book with great characters and great character development - I would not hesitate to recommend this one!

Yeah Kerensky is one of those douches who I ended up liking (view spoiler)[ especially after he meets himself. Lol! That was pretty funny (hide spoiler)]

But I really liked all of them and I liked how (view spoiler)[ Hester gives himself meaning for his life (hide spoiler)]

And Jenkins (view spoiler)[ who you think is this crazy, loner dude ends up being a sweet guy who just loved his wife (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ And I was really surprised and sad when they all ended up dying in the end. I thought whaaaat?! Noooooo!! (hide spoiler)]

Ha, yeah, Kerensky (view spoiler)[ So into himself - when they indicated he might have "done things" - hilarious! (hide spoiler)]
