1 star off because of 'wordiness' for the sake of 'wordiness'
4 stars because even though I slogged through I enjoyed the concepts and the ending.

+ Excellent start, conflict between the Gilgamesh crew and Avrana Kern was awesome stuff
+ Well written, I finished it quite quickly after starting
+ Interesting characters
+ Good ending
+ original approach to story telling multiple generations of a short lived species
+ Wide scope makes for an epic story, especially from the pov of the humans. Humans went into stasis for extended and irregular periods. At some point the main character wakes up to find commander Guyen has led a cult that has been revering him for multiple generations. Cool ideas.
- Wide scope makes story less character driven. Half of the story was about multiple generations of spiders, and how they develop as a species. Individual spiders didn't last that many chapters, and their stories weren't that interesting.
- too much exposition, some could have been packaged in story beats more, but a lot (of the spider chapters) could be removed without changing the story.
- not many surprises or plot twists
