Why did I love this book?
This is a wonderful book in multiple respects, but perhaps most impressive is the brilliant world-building, complete with several fascinating species, and complex yet comprehensible galactic politics.
The far-future galactic civilization is strikingly original, and humanity’s place in it is compelling. A close second to the world-building: the fabulous, three-dimensional characters.
As much as I enjoyed the second trilogy in this series, I would have loved to see this book’s characters return.
