4.5

New friends and a murder mystery

I was absolutely confused during many parts of the book but I absolutely love seeing how different cultures come together or how they differ. I have a feeling that I want to read this as a physical book as well since I did bookmark a lot of places where I would have enjoyed going a bit further in and reread parts. But that’s something that I almost never do when I listen to audio. However, I liked this one so much that I’m absolutely going to read the next one and this is also going to be put on my list of “Read, loved, want to buy”

A political drama set in a futuristic empire. 

The cultures and technology created for the book were very interesting, and I also thought the exploration of what empire is or means was intriguing!

Its not that simple getting into this big complicated universe, but once you are into it, it doesn't let you go! Gripping and fascinating. A sci-fi epos!
