Overall, pretty good. I think I'll read the second one to see what happens because the series shows promise.
This specific book suffers a little from a large amount of setup and character introduction up front, but starts finally moving along decently in the back half.
One thing I don't particularly love is how every essentially every chapter switches viewpoints - it's not that it's difficult to keep up, but something interesting happens, and I need to wait 6 chapters to get back to it. I hope he tones that part down later on, it just feels gimmicky. Not every viewpoint needs equal and equally spaced representation!
Late review, don't quite remember. The usual problem I have with sci-fi. Too much time spent developing the world, no presentable plot or engaging characters, made up words, etc.

Other than the last 20-30 pages of the book being a glossary/preview/etc, so I thought there was more to read than there was, it was good. Will eventually pick up the rest of the series to find out what is going on.
Featured Prompt
42 booksAction/Adventure, fun casts of characters, galaxy spanning. While there's no shortage of military oriented SF, I'm looking for ... not that.
