The Temporal Void by Peter F. Hamilton
4.0
this is the second book in Hamilton's void trilogy and it just starts. It took me quite some time to remember who all these characters and their allegiances were. But once I was imersed in the story that was no longer a problem. Like in the previous book 'the dreaming void' there are alternating chapters inside and outside the void. The outside chapters are scifi, the inside chapters lean towards fantasy. The emphasis in this volume is more on Edeard's rise to power inside the void then on the political space opera story outside. And in the middle of the book these edeard chapters seem to drag a bit.
But by the end there are some cool revelations and everybody is in position for the third book. There is not really an end in this book. My guess is that this story will pick up in the next book, right were it stopped here.
I really liked this book, the characters (several of them are characters from the commonwealth saga)and the technology/magic in it. So if you like space opera/fantasy and have the time to read several thick books you might consider this series.
