## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worthwhile read.
*by K***R on 7 January 2024*

Character driven story in a rich world/universe.A breath of fresh air with a lot of familiar sci-fy tropes.Enjoyed this first book enough to dive into the series.

### ⭐⭐⭐ One time read
*by P***H on 1 May 2024*

The world building is heavily inspired from Dune, but that’s ok. What matters the most is the story and this is where the novel falters. May be I am a bit impatient reader and didn’t like the slow pace with which the story unfolds which is unidimensional in the first place.Further, at one point, I started wondering is this story about Hadrian, the hero or his observations and thoughts about Valka, which occupy more than half of the novel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A real treat
*by A***N on 20 January 2021*

It was interesting being able to get an insight into a mind that thinks so deeply. The main character writing this autobiography is pretty honest about his own flaws .I have never read of a male personality such as this one. Hadrian is someone who is capable of well intentioned cruelty. He is also a book worm who frequently quotes his favorite authors and many people take potshots at him for this . This includes his own condescending love interest. The one thing that seemed one sided though was how religiously fanatical the entirety of mankind has been made out to be. A sobering picture of what may happen perhaps if we ever allowed dissent and debate to disappear in the real world. All 3 books in this series have been amazing so far.
