And now that you have read it--

I found the idea that the whole of the Sparrow AND this book was brought about so that Sofia's son could compose a song about the mingled DNA strands of humans and aliens to be very stupid and kind of wtf?

I think I would have minded that less if the aliens had continued to be very alien. But in an effort to bring more to the story, as you mentioned above, she kind of got too far into their heads and made them too much like us, and so then all the oomph OF that undercurrent similarity/counterpoint got . . . lost.

And that sucks.
