The book was enjoyable but it should have been split into 2 books. It was far too long and there were many parts where I felt like it should have ended.

Christopher Paolini was my favourite during late teenage and literally I'm reading one of his book after 5 years and meaning to read this one till the date he launched the book title and cover, so there is already a love for this book in my heart and also he wrote an intelligent sci fi epic.
Sometimes it has generic space opera tropes and occasionally unique world building aspects. He totally went weird with the logics of the soft blade/seed. And that one of a ambitious ending maybe... I loved it fr.
All that chapters of explanation of FTL system was fuking awesome, made me feel like I was preping for a semester finals in 22nd century physics.

Goodness me that was a long book. I feel like this had SO much potential but it was really dragged down by the long, almost never-ending story arcs and descriptions. That being said, the descriptions and scene-setting was so convoluted that I actually struggled to picture what was going on in my head.
I did really enjoy the story, I liked following Kira along and the whole found family element of it. I probably won’t read anything Paolini though.

This book was monstrous, in a good way, and contained one of my favorite themes present in Paolini's past works. As in the Inheritance Cycle, Paolini in this novel exemplifies his interest and growing skill in depicting alternative forms of consciousness and perceptions. How does the human mind adapt and change when confronted with cognitive systems wildly different than our own? How would the mind change when expanded to the size of a super computer?

This volume is a bit deceptive. It's a thick book as it is, and then once you open it you realize the pages are thin. It looks like a 400-500 page book, but it's almost 900 pages. XD
It reads a little bit like [b:The Host|1656001|The Host (The Host, #1)|Stephenie Meyer|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1318009171l/1656001._SY75_.jpg|3328799] meets [b:Ender’s Game|375802|Ender’s Game (Ender's Saga, #1)|Orson Scott Card|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1408303130l/375802._SY75_.jpg|2422333]. When I got to the end I had this feeling that Paolini just took me on an 800-page allegory for cancer, and then the final message was just "you can't fight it, so just accept it." XD
