Still enjoyed it. Had more space battles that I don't enjoy and less of the court intrigue and people outsmarting our protagonaist that I do, some nice explorations of the other mysterious elder civilazations.

Still enjoyable!

this volume continues straight on from the first book and advances us to a reasonable conclusion to what I guess is the first act of this rather long tale!

PWarren reviewed Empire of Silence (Sun Eater) by Christopher Ruocchio
Very good. Well written and interesting!
4 stars
Some interesting takes on some of the same themes as Frank Herbert's Dune, with a more heterogeneous view of humanity. Well crafted prose, easy to read and hard to put down!
Does follow the privileged young man rejects that privilige and slums it with the proles trope a bit and not a lot was resolved as it's the first of the series, but I'm looking forward to how the rest of the series goes!

PWarren reviewed Duel in the Dark by Jay Allan
Yeah, not bad
3 stars
A bit on the glorifying of war side, but with some threads of reflection. Some interesting ideas of how completely different cultures can interact, hoping the next books explore that more, rather than the space battle side of things too much.

Eh, it's OK. Some interesting far future humanity ideas, especially for it's time (1912!), but the prose is a bit heavy and slow going.

Still pretty entertaining, a bit long winded sometimes.
