I enjoyed this quite a bit, but oftentimes I find myself struggling to place everything together and follow along, though there are certainly moments where specific things fall into place. I'm not sure if that's all by design, or if listening to it as an audiobook caused me to miss things, or if I just don't think good.

It's been awhile since I've read Foundation by Isaac Asimov, but the scale and subject of this story very much reminded me of it. I didn't really connect strongly to any characters, but there are so many fascination ideas and really cool showy moments that had me captivated.

I'm not too much of a series reader, so I'm not going to get to the sequels right away, but I'll definitely queue them up to see where things go from here.
