Sweeping in scope. As standalone book, not 5 stars for me. Sets stage for remainder of the series.

I blew through this book. Very reminiscent of Dune, to me, with epic high level storylines taking place over wide swathes of time. I was captivated and it was difficult to put down

Audio is the wrong format for this book. It reads like a rather dull economic history lesson. My mind drifted easily and I didn’t care much about the political dealings.

The first of the series, and by far the best. Intriguing and unfolding. Not as good as "Dune" in my opinion, but definitely highly ranked among sci-fi I have read.
