A longer book this time, and in some ways more enjoyable than the previous, while worse in others
The fractures and factioning of the bobiverse was almost a hindrance to the main story of the book, and are responsible for it losing a star. While they were a necessary driving force for parts of the book, they still felt like convenient "hands of the author."
The exploration of the megastructure gave me flashbacks to ringworld, and I would have honestly liked to spend more time there.
