This is a 4.5 for me. I really enjoyed this one. It's a bit complicated because there are a lot of characters and you'll need to refer back to the cast of characters and glossary section pretty often, but once you figure things out it gets much better.
I am really tired of reading reviews that call this Game of Thrones in space. Books about powerful families fighting each other were around long before GoT (plus the GoT books go downhill pretty fast after the first few - people mistake liking the show for liking the books). The last few GoT books are tedious and boring and filled with ridiculous amounts of details about what the terrain looks like and what food people are eating. The plot moves at a glacial pace. So please just stop comparing this book (or any book with rival families) to GOT.
Anyway - I liked this one, I recommend it if you're willing to put in a small bit of effort to keep track of who is who. It's not on the level of complicated as something like the Malazan Book of the Fallen, but it's not a zero effort read either.
