5.0

I absolutely adored this queer space opera! If you are a fan of Star Wars, I definitely recommend giving this series a try.  There are so many unique characters and the plot is killer! My favorite plot line was Eris but I won't say much about it because of spoilers.  I really loved the idea of the Empire and the fact that all of the "lab-grown" children have to fight to the death to become the heir and the spare! That was brutal and gruesome, but so so interesting to read.

I loved the character development between all of the characters and being able to read a little bit about some of their pasts as well as their presents. I definitely thought the before storylines were good chapters to include!

Also, just....Ariadne. Enough said.
