Review from Dark City →
This book has plenty of action with entertaining characters and storyline. Plenty of mystery, 1:1 battles, and snark. The narrator did a nice job! I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Some very interesting ideas but the plot was really slow, and annoyingly predictable at times. Maybe worth listening to for some of the ideas about ASIs though.
