Roughly a fifth of the way through now. An interesting chapter! A broader look at the context of the story as a whole. The developments are both interesting and intriguing for someone who loves sci-fi and technicalities. The only caveat is that a lot of the things mentioned are so ‘sci-fi’ that it makes the idea hard to grasp fundamentally, although the general concept is still present.

Been 8 years since I was gifted this book.
Life distracted me – I am back.

Hello readers! The long chapter has been finished. An intriguing battle scene which killed off a lot of filler characters that were present just for detail and world building. I’m glad it happened because I could not be bothered keeping track of so many alien sci-fi names. I’m looking forward to a closer look at the characters and their interactions within the main plot, and some interesting developments soon!

Hello again everyone. Chapter 4 is very long, so only 20 pages read this evening. A very interesting story! Considering the space-operatic, large scale context and incredible detail, the author does well to catch you up on the current events as and when necessary. Detail when it matters, and lighter writing through the rest. Overall, the world building is excellent and the levels of description are very captivating.
