Needs wayyyy more narrative points-of-view than switching between two white male characters. Other than that, the world-building was really interesting and immersive, and in general it was good solid entertaining sci fi. Going to continue on with the series in hopes that they bring in new perspectives.

It looks like an scary epic sci-fi. But it really is just a very good epic sci-fi

This is the kind of sci-fi I like, where the characters are complex and the story is driven by them. If this is what 'space operas' are about, then I think I like this sub genre.

A stellar space opera novel. Started with an intriguing mystery, and slowly got more expansive. A hard sci-fi approach of world building, a web of political intrigue, and a story moved by dozens of appealing characters.
