I really couldn't put this down. It's over in a heartbeat, on to book 2! It follows two characters rather reluctantly on either side of the last vestiges of a galactic war as it winds down. But there's a slight problem in the aftermath that starts the whole story moving: maybe it's the humans that need to go...
The setting is big and bold, something like 1000 years into the future where more than one Empire has risen and fallen. The book holds has the mystical elements of Star Wars but is close up--first person present like the Hunger Games for strong characters. I really yearned for more backstory on important world elements: the Shir, Starfire, shards, Jorians/humans?, Suits, ahhhhh there's a lot! So I expect there will be more history and lore in the next books. Looking forward to them.
