Giant space fantasy book with a very slow detailed pace. I think this is the slowest I've read a book in a long time

I think there's some great things in this universe but sometimes I felt like the author really spends a lot of time on details that don't sound like they'll have payoff or relevance later

Epic? Yes. Interesting world building? Yes. A story that takes you many places but ultimately is only the first book in a long series so there really isn’t a beginning middle or end? Also yes. Am I going to read the next one? Yes.

Audio performance was fantastic.
