I cannot believe this lived up to the hype. Will definitely continue with the series; I've been recommending it to some friends of mine who don't really read anymore but loved Mass Effect. Took off half a star because the way the climax shook out annoyed me a little.

this was a re-read for me. i've said it before and i'll say it again: this is the best sci-fi book i've ever read.

how wells managed to put excellent world building, even better character work, humour and a bitter sweet found family arc in only around two hundred pages is incredible. 

absolutely can't wait to read the rest of the series.
