I had so much fun! It has messy religion /and/ space opera so the two buttons that make me work were hit but then on top of that I got queer rep neurodivergent characters and posthuman angels? I'm losing it. 
To be fair I didn't really care for the technical stuff. I was in it for the world building and therefore I cannot tell you much about whether the science part checks out or makes sense. 
There was a part where the tempo slowed down a bit and then sped up again at the end which was a bit of a rough patch but it's quite common in debuts and still didn't really matter on a big scale. Bought the sequel immediately and have big hopes for my boy Akavi (sorry).
