Starts off a bit slow, but the tension ramps up until it's running at break-neck pace by the end.

I'll be the first to admit that this won't be for everyone. You are dropped unceremoniously into an incredibly complex society with intricate language and a thoroughly puzzling and complicated mystery to unravel that takes off under your feet, but the way the story unfolds is fascinating. It's a space opera to the core, but filled with commentary on identity and imperialism.

All colonization and war are in the context of humans and other species in the distant future without direct connections to current politics. Some characters have voices and memories of others in their mind.
