The natives call the astroengineering contraption built around the black hole the Skythrone. Within it lies Eternity, an afterlife of sorts where chosen Ascendants travel after their death to gain immortality. Yet unlike the heaven and hell of Earth, it is absolutely real, and sometimes, guests who call themselves the emissaries of Eternity come down from there.
But are they guests or are they masters?
Legends say that the Kel civilization, the creators of the Dyson sphere, left for Eternity three galactic cycles ago to become almighty immortal gods. The passenger in my head claims that they are wretched cowards who doomed Unity and all of its inhabitants to save their own hides.
I… am about to learn who is right and what Eternity is truly hiding.
As long as I remember that only one thing matters to its ageless sovereigns. A single thread connecting the two worlds.
It’s good when stuff is actually happening, but too much of the book is spent droning on about rune conversions and doing starblood mathematics. That stuff’s fine in moderation. I felt this book went overboard.
I received a review copy of this book. Starblood book 5 is the next book in this series, and we finally get a glimpse of the origins of the story. I was told it was a spinoff of Project Stellar, but I haven't seen that until near the end of this book. If you've been waiting for some big reveals, then this is the book you don't want to miss. Of course, it becomes very interesting now to see how the other books in the series progress. If you like this series, or the one it was a spin off from, then you don't want to miss this book.
