I found it very slow going, not helped by the fact that I knew the major plot points, so there was little to no tension. The constant flashbacks to earlier points in their careers also didn't help me. I eventually abandoned it.

Then I read, very quickly, Skyward, Starsight and Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson. Good, fun YA SF.

And then I read The Farthest Shore, which held up very well.

And now it's Lightspeed Magazine #12 from April 2011.
