skygiants

I enjoyed it, but definitely in the beginning there's a lot of telling rather than showing. And I would agree about the unreality of the teen characters--even Tina herself thinks about the other teens in a weird way that didn't really ring true to me. Which would fit with the clonegenitor thing, except she explicitly doesn't have most of her higher level memories. And I liked the alien galactic backstory, but I thought the nemesis died too easily. I probably won't seek out the next two.
