4.22 AVERAGE


This is a fast paced, at times beautiful, adventure from two perspectives that are at times similar, and others completely different. I enjoyed it.

great space opera, witty writing style that makes you care about the politics
amazing character writing also
adventurous dark mysterious tense fast-paced

Really great. Stayed up til 230am more than once to read it. I enjoyed the writing style, it was easy to understand without being lazy or simple; hard sci-fi books usually intimidate me because they can get bogged down in reality and science. Excellent world building. Reminded me of a mix of Mass Effect and Firefly. Loved the mix of noir and horror and space opera.

am I 8 books behind my reading goal? yes. did i decide to read a 500+ page book instead of catching up? yes.

this one was so fun. apparently i like space books.

Good book, super cool to see the lens of politics, racism, war and more through a lens of a sci fi book. It was not extremely science technical which I liked, I like a mix. Will definitely read the second one and want to watch the show.

Wow!
