Mr Ruocchio is a talented wordsmith who deserves being read. His interwoven plot narrated from a character as charming as he is despicable is a spectacular spacetravel. Worldbuilding, character development, and philosophical reflections, you have it all at a prime level. As a Dune enthusiast, I recognize the influences and love this original take on space operas. The sword, our orator.

The splitting of books 4 & 5 also was to its detriment and essentially outside the authors control. But still an amazing series
