I love you politically complex space opera. what if I read all 8 (?) books

way to over-explainy so far... not only are scenes happening verbatim multiple times (fine, it's a time loop, but you could summarize?), but the narrator also repeats things we already know.... will switch to listening at x1.25 lol

marking my page bc I have to return my copy for inventory

the lack of distinct narrative voice for the lead POV characters is disappointing (esp after reading Intermezzo). girl show don't tell
