Thanks for the review. I enjoy finding new worlds and universes that are well developed and it sounds like this one is.

Reading the book review made me interested in the novel. I'm actually not a fan of sci-fi, but now I feel like I should give the book a try

The review was interesting but I am not much of a sci-fi fan. The plot summary also doesn't captivate me. Thank you.

Sounds like an interesting space themed thriller with a great plot.

Reading science fiction books specificallly those that deal with aliens and futuristic worlds has always been a challenge for me because of the barrage of unfamiliar terms and names and what have yous. This novel seemed carefully thought out and well written so I am tempted to try this one.

Sci-fi is not a genre that I read at all or heardly ever. So, I don't know much about it and I heard about space opera but I really don't know much. Your review is interesting and gives great pointers for sci-fi readers who want to give this book a chance. Good job!

I've enjoyed a few space and alien stories. This one sounds promising. I like that the reader learns about different aliens at the same time the characters do.

Okay this is another fictional story which sounds so much interesting. Excellent review.

Reading the review, it felt like Star wars, yes different in a way. But the words, Space and sci-fi, I move off to a galaxy far far away... The review sounds great. I would like to read it, probably after my current book though.
Congrats on being selected as BOTD!

With 6 chapters for free reading, this book's sample is generous. It gave me some Isaac Asimov feels when I read some hints of feminism. While I'm doubtful of the main villain's character (Umlac didn't appeal to me), I'll still add this on my to-read list.

Thank you so much for the review! I only read the sample so the reassurance of no profanities is a plus.

The term 'space opera' kind of scares me away. However, science fiction definitely suits me. Maybe I'll give it a try. Thanks for the review!

I learned quite a bit from this review as I had no idea there was a sub-genre called space opera. The sample of the book I read seemed well written. Quickly we learned a great deal about the character and the setting without feeling overloaded with details.

I find the development of the characters, human and nonhuman, is generally difficult but I agree with you on how well the author was able to execute the skill. I am generally not a fan of science fiction but this may be an interesting read. Great review with the right amount of highlights.

The review is very well done and I can see that you're an absolute sci-fi fan. However, as I was reading the sample pages I felt like I was dropped in the middle of the book - I couldn't make heads or tails of what was going on and the violence right from the start was a bit off-putting for me. Congrats on BOTD though.

For lovers of science-fiction and the elusive space-opera genre, this sounds like an excellent read. Between the world-building, the engaging story, and the interesting characters, the author has created a great addition to the canon.
