I finally see why people call this “Game of Thrones in Space”. While it reaches similar highs: good character work, complex world and politics. It also has the lows: certain characters not having much to do, but still giving them tons of POVs. (Mustang needed so much more). It ended really well but this wasn’t as cohesive as I was hoping it would be. And also, after you bring like 5 characters back to life, death doesn’t carry weight any more!! Stop doing this!!!!
