I tried getting into this last year, still sitting on the shelf though

I found the first third a little disjointed, like a conversation interrupted with dull exposition but (without spoilers) there is a shift towards adventure -and y'know actual story- at the halfway mark.

That shift is cathartic. The annotative science farts continue, but having some investment in the characters and outcome makes those bottom burps apposite rather than exhausting.

Still a ways to go though.
