A great sci-fi fantasy book focused on quirky characters and their interactions while saving the universe。 I do feel like the book could have had more in it though as some parts felt rushed and glanced over。 Overall， another banger from Will and I'm greatly looking forward to the next one。 Also， the last 2 bloopers at the end are great lol。 A great sci-fi fantasy book focused on quirky characters and their interactions while saving the universe。 I do feel like the book could have had more in it though as some parts felt rushed and glanced over。 Overall， another banger from Will and I'm greatly looking forward to the next one。 Also， the last 2 bloopers at the end are great lol。 。。。more

Excellent introduction to a new seriesAbsolutely can’t wait to see where Will takes this one。 From the beginning， the story had me hooked。 The MC is intelligent and powerful， with a cast of awesome colorful characters。

Too muchLike watching an action film that is all explosions， then a gun fight， then more explosions， then a chase then another fight。 Great if you like hand-wavey space magic， not so good if you like a story。

Not good。 Four major problems， I think。 Much of it is from just jumping straight into action and not developing any of the characters。1） Main character has almost no personality。 His whole personality is （a） he doesn't get along with his father and （b） he doesn't like dying。2） Enemies have no personality。 Iron King is 。。。 evil。 Omega is 。。。 evil 。。。 and bored。 Insect queen is 。。。 evil。3a） All characters start at the height of their powers， so there is no personal development story。 （b） Also they Not good。 Four major problems， I think。 Much of it is from just jumping straight into action and not developing any of the characters。1） Main character has almost no personality。 His whole personality is （a） he doesn't get along with his father and （b） he doesn't like dying。2） Enemies have no personality。 Iron King is 。。。 evil。 Omega is 。。。 evil 。。。 and bored。 Insect queen is 。。。 evil。3a） All characters start at the height of their powers， so there is no personal development story。 （b） Also they are all too powerful， i。e。 they could all single-handedly destroy Godzilla or the Death Star， so all combats seem arbitrary。 （c） At least three significant characters are immortal， so there are no stakes to their conflict。4） Mixing sci-fi technobabble with magic technobabble doesn't make it more interesting， it just make more babble and more arbitrariness。 。。。more

This was an action packed beginning to a new series by Will Wight。 Not often do you see such an expansive setting starting with main characters already close to their peak in terms of abilities。 In a galaxy where various kinds of sentient beings co-exist， magic and tech intermingle， a mysterious starship manned by powerful crew members battle against existential crisis。 In short， imagine an Avengers-like movie being the first introduction to the series。In terms of worldbuilding， I'd say it was o This was an action packed beginning to a new series by Will Wight。 Not often do you see such an expansive setting starting with main characters already close to their peak in terms of abilities。 In a galaxy where various kinds of sentient beings co-exist， magic and tech intermingle， a mysterious starship manned by powerful crew members battle against existential crisis。 In short， imagine an Avengers-like movie being the first introduction to the series。In terms of worldbuilding， I'd say it was overwhelming a bit due to the sheer amount of variety。 There's a trilogy worth of content packed into a book that's less than 500 pages。 During one of the battles， Varic mentions mega-reptiles that feed on migratory flocks of extradimensional prey。 In one simulation， he witnesses the birth of a solar dragon while using magic to protect that solar system。 These are just footnote examples， easily forgotten unless you revisit copious chapter notes like I did。I'd say the writing was on par with the best Cradle books。 All of the main characters （including antagonists） had memorable traits and tics。 Unlike Cradle， not all of the crew members were likeable， though there's room for them to grow in the sequels。Overall， I'd highly recommend this book for those who enjoy a group of competent characters making a stand against overwhelming threats。PS: Bloopers were hilarious as usual。 。。。more

High octane action and low stakesThis is almost exactly what you’d expect from the cover， knowing that it’s also written by Will Wight。 The action begins almost immediately and stops only for occasional breath before taking off again。 It’s well written and easy to read。Will Wight’s previous books are all Bildungsroman- you see young protagonists coming of age and developing their character and power in tandem with increasing scope and stakes of their adventure。 This book starts with a scene that High octane action and low stakesThis is almost exactly what you’d expect from the cover， knowing that it’s also written by Will Wight。 The action begins almost immediately and stops only for occasional breath before taking off again。 It’s well written and easy to read。Will Wight’s previous books are all Bildungsroman- you see young protagonists coming of age and developing their character and power in tandem with increasing scope and stakes of their adventure。 This book starts with a scene that in the normal course of a Bildungsroman would be ~80-90% through the series， then launches straight into action from there。 Instead of a developing cast you start with the most exceptional figures of the galaxy， now even more formidable with the power of teamwork and friendship （literally in some cases）。 It takes an excellent author to take the pieces in play here and produce interesting conflict- luckily we have Will for the job。 The structure suggests six books- it will be quite the ride to keep this firework together that long。 Reminds me a fair bit of the Deathstalker books by Simon Green。 。。。more
