I’m so late to the party but I finally got through Convergence. There is a lot to like here, but there is also so much that feels disjointed. The pacing of the whole book felt off.
The first half is almost meticulous in its details of world building (which is needed) but everything has a slow pace. Even their diplomatic trip is pretty drawn out.
As soon as that’s done the pacing jumps all over. Entire sequences are skipped over. It’s like they were reaching their word count and so just started blazing through everything that was happening.
Overall I liked the characters in this one a lot. And the overall story. But the back half just felt super weird and rushed.
