I enjoyed this! It had an interesting plot, the characters were engaging and it was an enjoyable read.

Got to be honest - there was a lot of world building and I definitely got confused sometimes. The backstory of how the humans got to the current universe was weird and I still don't fully understand it. There are also so many secondary characters, it can be hard to keep track of who is who (especially on the battle cruiser). I wish there was more interaction between Liam and Nora because I enjoyed their limited interaction.

I think part of my problem is it reminds me of T.A. White's Firebird Chronicles (starts with Rules of Redemption) and I LOVEEEE that series. This had a similar vibe, but I wasn't as engaged or as committed to the characters in this story as I was to the Firebird Chronicles.

Despite that, I think this has potential and I'll definitely read the next one.
