I hadn't realised this was a series- and I haven't read the other book in it. That definitely made this one harder to follow, it felt like characters weren't well introduced or explained and I was constantly trying to match up which alien races had which characteristics. It also jumped between different groups and foci quite suddenly.
That's on me (although a quick precis at the beginning would have helped a lot and might have sent me to buy the first one). I did like the writing style.
