I didn't really enjoy this. I found the pacing to be slow and the characters too slow to develop. I felt very little connection to them. I thought it was good that Django didn't make a move on Eventide. Too often characters are just pushed together and maybe they could just be friends. It would be refreshing to see it be just a really deep friendship.

Eclipse is exactly the sort of sci-fi that I like, a bit of a space opera with the story time here largely split between two locations – the space station Eclipse, and the shuttle Redemption. There are a few other locations in between, but those are the two that we get to actually know.
Both storylines were quite enjoyable, with a good group of characters who were easy to follow. I enjoyed the storyline itself, with some good little twists and a good overall premise. I don’t think there was anything necessarily new, but it just worked very well.
I enjoyed the intrigue of the story, and I felt that the reveals were quite subtle, allowing you to work things out for yourself without feeling like you were being made to work too hard for it, and I definitely appreciated that.
It’s the opening of a series that I’m definitely looking forward to continuing with. I can see some good threads that the characters will take into book two with them, and I’m excited to see how they start weaving them all together.
