Really enjoyed this story. It kept me hooked from the very first page because it was so full of suspense and mystery. I'm excited to know more about the unknown threat that's approaching our main characters and their known world. The pacing was good and I loved the different planets we got to venture to along with our beloved characters. The characters were morally grey which I liked a lot especially when they struggled with picking the easy way or the right way to handle a situation like we typically do in everyday life. The various species of sentient beings were a nice addition to this story which just made the reading experience more entertaining. Definitely recommend especially to the beginner sci-fi readers like me.
