This is one of those books where the author tries really really really hard to write intelligent characters verbally sparring with each other, unfortunately it is cringy.

Holy infodump Batman. This is so bad, I fail to put it into words properly. Do not get me wrong, I was somewhat entertained listening to it while doing housework, so that is good, but holy shit is the author *bad*. He seems to be in favor of military dictatorship and glazes a traitor who fires on his own allies. If this was written by ChatGPT I would have been better. It seems the target audience is 6 year olds since everything is repeated ad nauseam, every concept, every phrase the author thinks is cool. I am glad I am done with this.

It's bad.

Fans of Robin Hobb's style should feel right at home here. Great read.

wWhat a failure of a final book. 50% of the book nothing happens and then it fizzles out with the only interesting chapter being the epilogue. It is clear that the author did not know how to bring this story to an end.

Too shallow to sit down and red but perfectly entertaining for listening while doing housework or commuting. Lots of pew pew little story.

If you are looking for MilSciFi with a capital MIL, this is for you. If you are looking for a little story that goes with your pew pew laz0rguns, this is not for you.

Instead of writing a good scifi book the author chose to write a less then mediocre chosen one trope fantasy book I have seen done better a 100 times. More than half the books are spent in this pointless fantasy story that does not even connect to the 'main' scifi story at the end. What a waste.

Horrible execution of a good idea.

This was everything I wanted the first book to be. Awesome, can't wait for Book 3.
