cloramagone 's review for:

Exordia by Seth Dickinson
3.0
adventurous challenging dark hopeful mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

 -evangelion if it wasn't shit
-no book has the right to be 660 pages long.
-the only parts worth reading are the first act, and the segment where they explore the ship
-racial essentialism???
-interesting metafictional concepts about stories and souls
-there is a such thing as TOO much character development
-there is far far too much by far going on in this book: first contact, biohazard/quarantine horror, american imperialism commentary, fate/destiny/free will, star wars space battle, lesbian roommate romcom,
