I loved pieces of this book, but I couldn’t fully get wrapped up in the twists and turns. I listened to the book on audible and I think the performance of the reader was a bit distracting and didn’t allow me to fully be immersed on the story, but regardless the book ended with way too many loose ends. I understand there’s a war going on but the battles didn’t feel dynamic enough for me. I couldn’t imagine what the battle space looked like or how they were moving in battle even though they spent a lot of time describing the maneuvers and the technology. I think the bits about gravity and the movements being impacted by gravity took me out because I didn’t truly understand the difference in speed based on the level of gravity. I felt like the magic from the world building of the unincorporated man was missing and that this entire book is just a bridge to get to the third book instead of its own stand alone story. Overall there were enough well written and gut wrenching moments to get me through the story, but it was not as good as the first one.
