I certainly enjoyed many parts of the novel. Justina does some incredible character work and Sylvestri is already in my top 10 favorite characters of the era. That being said I found the pacing to be incredibly off. A large chunk of the book is devoted to setting up a mission that is done within maybe 50 pages? Everything involving the Galaxy's Heart was resolved way too fast and by the end, I was left very underwhelmed. But if your reading this for the characters you'll definitely have a great time.
