I found this book incredibly interesting and enjoyable. Definitely a page turner. I wish the pace was a little bit slower to build on the main character
and her lovers
but I enjoyed the world building until the straight up last page.
Which, I had been wondering somewhat during the book but especially during the final battle if the Hunduns were truly the space villain, I’m very glad that got answered before the end of the book.  
A bit of an unhinged female main character?! I love it, I don’t know if I’ve read a book like this before. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
