3.0

This was a strange and interesting read. I'm not sure if I would give it 3 stars truthfully, more like a 2 1/2 star experience, but I enjoyed it enough to round up my assessment to a solid 3. I'm not sure if I would have liked this more if I had read the other books in the universe. This book is technically part of a universe, though a stand alone. Space opera novels tend to be hit or miss for me in general. I love fantasy of all kinds with magic and creatures and swords and nobles. Space though is sometimes to crazy for me to wrap my head around. Too much technobabble and space things that tend to be difficult for me to understand and therefore enjoy. I keep trying though cause I like to find enjoyable space adventures. This one is not one of my favorites, but it did a passable job of being entertaining.
