Empress of Forever

This was such a fun book, full of completely wild concepts and beautiful imagery. I loved watching the characters form a team in ways they never could have imagined at the story's beginning. Deducted one star because it ran a bit long in places and the “twist” wasn't all that surprising.

Another book where the major voice is the main character psychoanalyzing herself. There's slightly more excuse for it here that in many books but still it means whenever you're in danger of empathizing with her she steps in and does it for you. Combine that with merely ok worldbuilding that throws too much ultratech around for you to care about any of it and at 80% I check out because I have stuff I could reread that is much better.
