The dialogue killed me. The story could be good – combination of magic (special abilities, anyway) and space adventures – but the dialogue between every character in the first few chapters is PAINFUL. I quit.

Very slow start, but it’s about a near future where Wikipedia (called Information and available to everyone via fancy high-tech future sci-fi gadgets) is ubiquitous and the world is split into centenals (100,000 people) instead of countries and micro-democracy is the way to go. There are global elections every 10 years and one is coming up. Interesting premise, and the plot picked up (and I plan to continue the series), but it had a really slow, pretty dry start.
