The book was great and the character development was excellent. It had a lot of action and character development.

The main drawback was how dark it was, especially in terms of mental health-a lot of trauma occurs for the characters. 

My main problem with the plot was
the sheer amount of power had by the Living Cosmos faith. It was kind of weird, because who would agree to this??? Creating a staff that controls your entire palace with a thought-interesting, but where did you get the idea to require approval from the Living Cosmos vicars? Also the fact that there is a guy who is just happily living in a black hole while knowing what is happening with time everywhere else is weird.
. I still enjoyed it lots, but it just felt weird.

In terms of character development, I feel sorry for practically everyone.
I'm expecting a redemption arc for Tyrus. I really want Neveni to recover instead of ending up as another person who wants to manipulate Nemesis because you can understand where she's coming from and she really does care for her.
