Hadrian can be a bit obnoxious sometimes and the plot could stand to be a bit more cohesive, but I enjoyed it.

An amazing start for the beloved Suneater series.
I understand why some people would have problems with this book, the pace is slow and the grand elements of a space opera are still getting set up, but I believe Empire of Silence is an amazing introduction to Hadrian Marlowe and the universe he lives in.
From page 1, Ruocchio's style hits just right, beautiful and evocative, really transporting you to the amazingly deep universe he constructed and even more to the mind of Hadrian.
Can't wait to read Howling Dark.

First fantasy series I’ve picked up. Did not disappoint. The world-building and story is incredible. Unlike anything I’ve ever read. I couldn’t put the book down.
Once you think the story starts to settle in there’s just unexpected turn after another that ties the story together perfectly. There are many characters worlds and new language that you may find overwhelming but it makes it that much more interesting in my opinion. I can’t wait to pick up the second book.
