Idris became incredibly annoying toward the end, possibly more noticeably because the voice the audiobook’s narrator gave him.
Outside of Idris, the characters were great, especially Trine and Solace.
I’m still a bit unconvinced at the idea of the game plan against the Architects being “send our intermediaries to repeatedly say “we’re here, we exist.”

caitibeth's review against another edition

The mysterious Architects turn human planets into destroyed sculptures, and have never been touched or thwarted. Until Idris communicates with one, and the Architects leave as mysteriously as they arrived.
Now it's decades later, and humans have fractured. Can Idris, his shipmates, and an ally from his past survive against all the various factions that are gunning for them and for Idris's skills? And what would happen if the Architects DID reappear?
This is a BOOK. It's huge and epic, and could easily have been at least two if not three books in other hands. The worldbuilding comes fast & hard, and I had to concentrate a lot in the beginning to keep it all straight. But it's a very rich universe and I really enhoyed both the characters and the story!
