Listening to the audiobook, as this is one of the two books (or 5, if you want to look at it that way) that have an audiobook. Depending on how exciting it is i might read the book as well, when i cant listen

Before this my favourite book in the series was Once Burned (the Captains Table one), which was the last really character driven one that focused more on the themes of a character than a general plot happening to the crew.
This book focuses on two of my favourite characters in more detail (most of all Soleta of course, which made me very happy) so it was either going to be very good or very bad. It was not bad! Very happy especially about the limelight on Soleta and McHenry.
It was somewhat of an even split of silly and perhaps somewhat dark humour content and genuinely dark events. I hope the coming books focus more on Soleta than the previous two or so did

i don't even care that this story is gay. even if the relationship was less explicitly compared to that of soulmates or married couples i would still love it? for me the story doesn't become boring in the second half; that's the most interesting part of the story. gilgamesh doing anything he can to achieve immortality and ulitimately finding out that it's hopeless – that's why i even started to read it. If you are looking for a gay romance go read a gay romance novel. It's honestly on you (or whoever falsely advertised this poem to you) if you are disappointed by the relationship in the story.
I did not give him up for burial, until a maggot fell from his nostril
This DOES show a deep love between the two characters, and great grief on gilgamesh's part. I've also seen someone saying "he doesn't even pursue immortality for his dead lover". I wouldn't like it if he did. His lover and the first guy to be his equal in strength dies randomly. It makes him think, for the first time, about his own mortality and he is terrified. That's way more realistic and timeless.
The case of my friend Enkidu [was too much for me to bear,] so on a distant path [I roam the wild.] [(For) I,] how could I stay silent? How could I stay quiet? My friend, whom I love, has turned to clay, my friend Enkidu, [whom I love, has turned to clay.] [Shall] not I be like him and also lie down, never to rise again, through all [eternity?]
I'm really into meta, knowing-you're-in-a-story kind of books so I'd really like to read this

The start is very good! The universal alternative history thing is a great opening and feels very comedy-Doug-Adams-y

I liked Xyon at first, but he quickly became a sort of macho-like figure so of course he turns out to be Calhoun's son. insufferable guy mark 2. he does seem more sympathetic than his dad so far. I liked how he dropped the altruistic pretense in the psychic attack scene near the end, it makes his character more believable. having a real love-hate relationship with peter david's special little guys.
I like riella/kalinda. at the beginning her story seemed a lot like a standard YA plot which I thought was cool and by the end I liked her even more.
What bothered me about this book was that it didn't involve the regulars very much and instead set up these two characters, which made it a bit boring. I have some beef with how Soleta was used in this book as her lines sometimes seem a bit stupid.
