Empire of Silence

I received a copy from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I decided to read this book because I haven't read very much sci-fi and I wanted to change that. I'm glad I did, this is a good book.

Hadrian Marlowe is next in line to be the head of House Marlowe. He is the older brother after all. Hadrian trains in all areas so that he will be prepared to lead when it is his time. When he finds out that his father has other plans for him, Hadrian flees.
Hadrian had high hopes for his new life. He had everything planned out. One betrayal changed it all. He will see what it's like to fight for survival with no money, no job, and no title.
All he wanted was to explore space and visit other worlds.

This is the story of Hadrian Marlowe and how he became known as the Sun Eater.

This book started out really great, but got pretty boring in the middle. I felt like it was longer than it needed to be. The ending left me wanting more. Even though it lagged in parts, I will probably read the next one just to see what happens.
