it was an adventure story it was action-packed it had suspense again around the ship and I think it had a lot of the pieces I liked in terms of a first book I liked it's not an instant favorite
Alliance Rising (2019)
i thoroughly enjoyed this and i probably need to buy a copy of it because i might have to reread it by the time that part two comes around as i recall i've never been so fascinated by lengthy explanations of trade and commerce routes and how that could upend you know the political situation in the universe like it was really interesting
