At first I wasn't sure what to rate this book. It's not perfect on a technical level, and I can see why it's reviews are somewhat mixed. That being said, I ended up loving it. It's been a long time since I've had as much difficulty putting a book down as this one. Somehow, despite being well over 800 pages, it's still a fast pace story, there's near constant action and all of it is just so well written. If you love sci-fi or want to jump into a space opera for the first time, I absolutely recommend this, it's a joy.
