" Luscious prose, but the characters are vapid, unsympathetic, fickle, inconsistent, and often juvenile. The world-building is interesting but under-utilized. This read like a first draft: there's a spark of potential, but it needed much more cultivation and care to build to a steady flame. I was so uninvested in the characters that I actually stopped reading with a mere 20 pages to go. Just didn't care how it ended. In my mind, the ship exploded and everyone died. "
