I also have QUESTIONS, I took a break for a few weeks to nurse my emotional wounds and then tackled the next book in the series. As far as how this worked within a series: it felt like a whole book on its own, with more mysteries and questions and next steps to pursue. So, yay, that's the best!
Fair warning. It's a very big and very messy and very vast unverse with deep as fuck lore. The prose is also complicated and dense. I recommend just shrugging and going with it - it flows well and makes a weird sort of sense if you just let it take you along.
It's science fantasy, necromancers in space exploring ancient ruins trying to solve complicated mysteries to ascend to near godhood in order to help fight to save the universe and humanity. So it's huge in scope but also takes place in a very limited space with limited characters.
The lesbian aspect gets hyped up a lot but there's not smut.
