I really like it when an attempt is made to write a story without any of the main characters in it. Still this book suffers from too many humans, and all male characters.
There's a lot going on in this book. We flit between 5000 bby to 41 aby, and it really took me a while to wrap my head around everything that was going on and to get into the story. There are a lot of really cool elements. I was really excited about the hyperspace element, and wished we'd seen more from that pov.
The story kind of feels like it doesn't know where it wants to go. It's possible to blend multiple genres into one book, but I don't think this book is the best at it. And there's way too much vomitting going on.
It does a really good job at having an epic battle though, so really the book was kind of up and down for me.
