Again I loved the arcs of the new POV characters, especially the one from the past. Loved how the curtain keeps being drawn back. But the plot felt a bit thin/overly convenient and notably
everyone we actually care about makes it (except maybe Wei whose death maybe will pay off later with Amos but probably won't). This feels kind of hollow after the deep losses of abbadon's gate and the fact that this is an even more dangerous and alien situation. I look forward to hopefully more Bobbie in the next one!
