I think it has its moments but I think they buried the more interesting and (oo scary maybe even thought-provoking) concepts of the book so far down that they're barely there. The plot is very new trek and it's impossible to say if it's beyond redemption because anything is possible, there are no stakes, and why do I care again? New Star Wars made similar mistakes.

Also I had high hopes for Salvor because they were a badass in the first part of the first book. Instead now they are a scowling child who defaults to violence. The writers really screwed up the characters.
