Il collasso dell'impero

This is my second time reading this book, in anticipation of reading the final book of the trilogy.

I've read countless times that John Scalzi's Sci Fi writing is accessible sci fi. It is very true of this story as well and is among the first new space opera stories I've enjoyed over multiple books in quite some time. The characters of these stories have stuck with me since the first time reading it and already feel like I'll end up missing stories from this series once I'm done.
