It's an interesting book. I think the editor should have been a little more ruthless and cut out some of the extraneous tangents that the narrator and characters would often go on, they would get very rambley but didn't actually do much to help build the world or characters. And I felt like the ending was fairly weak. But it was still fun to read a Mass Effect novel that focused on the alien cultures that are usually ignored in the main canon. I just think this book tried to do too much at once and some better editing and tighter writing would have served it better.
