I’m enjoying the long, deliberate pace of the adventure, but I’m struggling to get a clear sense of the world itself. The worldbuilding is like medieval history presented through fragments references to battles and other seemingly minor details that are hard to connect to a larger picture. The idea of time being cyclical is interesting, but the prose and poetic language often make the lore feel vague as all hell

Jefferson is possibly one of the most intensely hypocritical people you will ever view in history something fascinating and equally apalling just as it probably appalled many who thought his words sincerely extended beyond bounds of white men of property in America

Through seeing a biographical account of his estate especially one he intensely focused on the book gives you a sense of Jefferson in all his facets

This series has so much of my personal faves wether it be the inter political strife and cutthroat rivalry amidst a monolithic imperious society that is at once looming in its might but at the same time divided amongst warring factions

It’s sort of like Rome in space except even more violent and even more sociopathic.

My friend told me this book was essentially Game of Thrones in space he’s not completely right but nor is he completely wrong

Lot of good twists with the setting

This book feels like something I can see a middle school kid being able to get into which is great fantastic stuff
