Review of 'Dawn' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Reads like a lighter version of David Weber. It's the same kind of military space opera based on historical tropes, but in a considerably lower word count.

Overall it was very entertaining, and I plan on following the series as it comes out in translation.
