I loved this book... big worldbuilding sci-fi is just my jam and always has been. I loved figuring out the puzzle of the world, the space-opera elements, and the novel use of math in the setting.

If you hate sci-fi because thin characters and shallow emotional arcs make you check out, you might not like this. If you hate wandering around in a setting that you don't understand for the first half of the book, you're not going to like this book.

But if you like a fun, plotty, sci-fi novel, this is a pretty good one.
