I wasn't a massive fan at the very begining of the book, but I have since changed my tune - by the end I was very much into the characters an the plot. I think it was because at the beginning it was hard to remember who was who, and who was allied with you, and what happened when, and what was happening where. Once I finally sort of got my head round that, the book was very enjoyable!

I wanted so badly to read this book, but after 3 failed attempts at reading it, and not being able to get into it, I unfortunately dnf’d. The idea appealed to me a lot, but I just couldn’t force myself to be able to read it

This book is better than the first of the series. I was not so bored and ready to be done with it, like the first book. It actually entertained me part of the time.

Sometimes gruesome, a little disturbing, and loaded with technical specifications. I really enjoyed the world building, but it was challenging to keep track of all the characters and locations. I'm vacillating between a rating of 3 or 4 because I thought the writing was very good, but I struggled with the technical descriptions. So, 3.5 stars, I guess?

I really liked this book, and love EVE Online. It just felt a bit forced as Tibus Heth came to power. Everything was fast tracked in such a short time period to make sure the empires went to war at the same time. All said, this is great backstory for the game, I highly recommend it!

Look, I like EVE, and I think they've built a pretty interesting mythology between all the cultures and whatnot, but this... ugh... "book" is horribly, horribly written. I don't envy the author who had to come up with some comprehensive way to make a number of relatively independent events happen so as to be considered canon, but the poor guy failed. Forcing myself to finish this was crotch-punchingly difficult.
