The science, philosophy and depth of human understanding were all wonderful. The political strategy awesome. The pacing was perfect. Extremely hard to put down. Sacrificed sleep to keep reading. A masterpiece.

Great start to this new series. It sort of gives off a little “Three Body Problem” meets “Judas Unchained”. Overall very good.

It was a really good book. Some of the thoughts were a bit high-level, which isn’t bad. It was just surprising plus it’s also unfinished.

Another good book from The guys that brought us the Expanse. I love their world building. In this book, there are a lot of characters thrown at you in the beginning. It’s a bit hard to keep them separated until their different personalities emerge.

The author trusts in the intelligence of the reader. There is much that must be inferred that the authors eventually confirm. Almost like a puzzle that you have to have faith you can complete. So don’t expect a direct narrative. That being said, it is so imaginative and I cannot wait for the next book in the series.

I want more. As the first part of a series, it’s enjoyable on its own and also left me wanting to read the next one. It’s set up a lot of plot and I hope that future books deliver on it.

Nothing like their Expanse series. This book is so boring.

Very disappointed! Very difficult to follow and understand, not at all the same writing style as The Expanse.

Great read.

Good writing and an interesting concept, but it ends pretty abruptly
