I love this book. Dark, emotional, necromantic space opera set over 10,000 years into the future- but manages to throw in a “none pizza left beef” joke.

Loved it, it’s best if you walk in with no knowledge of what’s going on because it will hit you like a truck, in the best way.

Really good but it is from a second person perspective on the beginning which can be HARD to get a grip on

I liked the last 150 pages. The book felt too long and I felt stupid while reading it. When everything came together in the end, I loved the revelations. Laughed out loud at several lines and generally enjoyed the writing. But I wish the book was shorter.
