A review by colossal
The Dreaming Stars: Book II of the Axiom by Tim Pratt

3.0

A straight continuation of the previous book that sadly falters due to a very slow first half followed by a not-particularly-interesting second half with something of a cheat ending. There's more characterization than the first book, and a little bit more flesh on the bones of the ambitious world-building, but overall, this was very medium.

I'm not positive I'll go on to the next one, but the premise sounds interesting.
