This book kind of reminded me of the Star Wars prequels. Put your pitchforks down please. Interesting characters (or, well, interesting enough to analyze) and worldbuilding, but the dialogue isn’t fantastic. He clearly doesn’t know how women and kids talk so I’m sorry to his wife and children that he must have never listened to. Overall, it was an enjoyable read. Plot was nothing too exciting and really dragged at points.
