I think this might be a 4 star plot with 3 star writing. The story is an imaginative mixture of sci-fi and fantasy, which actually does posit an interesting solution to faster-than-light travel. On the other hand, the constant restating of the plot is annoyingly distracting (although I am now belatedly aware that this was originally published in instalments, hence the episodic nature). This would be a far better book if some time had been taken to edit the story for this omnibus edition, rather than simply mashing the episodes together. I am tempted however to keep reading the series.
Fantastically original story!
It's so nice when you invest time into a book read and are rewarded with interesting characters and an original story free from boring repetition. Highly recommended!
This series started off slow and then got better and better towards the end. Well worth a read!
