Loved this book, even though it took me about 60 years to read. Full review to come!

This is a great science fiction read. It was exciting, smart, and well-constructed. It perhaps lacked slightly in the character development but, truthfully, I only noticed that in hindsight and didn't feel the novel suffered as a result.
The only complaint I have is strange. There was barely a cliff hanger. There was no suspense to suck me into the next book of the series. On the other side of the coin, it was a great stand alone novel, that at times left me one the edge of my seat. I recommend this book.

I couldn't be happier with my last book read in 2015. An amazing space-opera, beautifully written, with a level of details that is usually hard to find. And I loved it, as I always love stuff that involves space. I love space. Battlestar Galactica, Interstellar, Alien, Aliens, The Martian, Gravity... all movies/tv shows that I loved, some of them are in my all time favourites list, but I hardly ever read about space. For some reason it always has been something that I loved to see on the big screen but that I thought would never be well translated into the book form. I was completely wrong. This book is amazing, it captured me from the first page and I can't wait to read the others in the series.
In the meantime, there's the tv show that has been just renewed for a second series! I hope is good..
