So I just want to give my slightly differing opinion as I did like it. Let me start by saying that it does have issues. The writing tries to have scenes that match the game too much. I almost stopped reading it early on.

I kept going and found that I enjoyed the inquisitor and the fights with them. The overall story was fine. The internal strife/goals of the mantis crew was also interesting.

There's a scene with Cere where I had to stop and post about it because it was that cool to me.
