Two words: BLOWN AWAY

This book was exactly what I've been looking for. Political intrigue with dense dialogue and plenty of mystery! This is probably one of my favorite space operas, so far. 

I don't even know where to start because I thought this story was amazing. My only complaint is that the ending felt somewhat rushed. The author could have easily extended this book by 50+ pages. 4.75 stars out of 5 ⭐! Can't wait to pick up the second one 😀.
