Seems set in a familiar universe of space opera and military wonder, but very quickly the twist is revealed: if you're going to be involved in planetary and galaxy conflicts, you're going to be involved in more than your share of atrocities. So what happens to the massive trauma of the people (and sentient ships!) involved?
It's not quite as heavy as that may imply, but the novel doesn't shy away from it either. Eager to continue the series.
