Reviews and Comments

Excellent start of the series. I am writing after having finished all seven.

Wow, I don't feel good after having read this book. It really got me going, with the introduction a bit slow but really set in the motivations for the protagonist. I was ecstatic to read about a character that wants to save her country from colonisation.

Throughout the book, I was hoping to be rewarded with a satisfying conclusion. Instead, I got my hopes broken and am a bit surprised with the protagonist's physical state. I'm not sure how she will fare in the next books...

... Which I'm definitly reading. But maybe not just yet. I need to recuperate after this ending...

IMHO, lots of themes explored or mentioned here. Deep characters, with different cadence of growths. A cool world premise, but what got me is the ecologist twist, as well as the acceptance of the weird, non-human.

I would've liked to know more about what happened on the ship, but at the same time, the fact that we don't know what happened, that we only read the lasting generational trauma, is quite eye-opening for me.

Very good read, though long in the middle, and a bit of repetitious.

I think about the sleep partner culture now.

A weird trip in Disneyland +1000yrs and ∞ lives/clones.

Quite poetic on some levels, but I got stuck on the page-by-page degradation of the main protagonist's frenetic life. It echoed some things in me, and it still resonates now.

Much stronger for me surprisingly, than Little Brother for example, or the copyright book, Pirate Cinema, both hitting more politically than emotionally for me (albeit I felt sympathy for the characters there as well).

A good read thought ! GG Cory !

Might seem like a harsh review, but I just want to be concise. The plot seems obvious rather quickly, and the story stays hilarious right through the end.

I was weirded out by the second part/ending. I think I got a bit bored by the pseudo-blog gimmick.

Excellent either way, and I'm not a star trek fan, like at all !

Hilarious. They died crashing in an asteroid 6 months later. Definitely the right ending, X-)

Nice twist in terms of story lore. I was a bit confused where the story took place, and the clues are more or less subtly sprinkled in, with not too much exposition.

The main protagonist is a bit archetypal, similar to The Lies of Lock Lamora, a young masculin teen with a freakish tactical and strategic luck, who is also hyper-violent and clearly on the psychopathic spectrum, saved by a story plot-twist that explains why they are like that. But still needs to be redeemed in the next books IMHO.

Has a Cosmere , aka The Stormlight Archvive/Mistborn vibe in the greater powers that play a 1:1 worldwide game. Again, to be seen if relevant in the other two books.

Is rather similar, as pointed out by @kergoth@bookwyrm.social, to The First Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie.
