just skip The Eaters. seriously. He lands, more tragedy, content warning friggin extremely traumatic and descriptive cannibalism, then he steals an older Culture ship and escapes. legit that is all you need to know. it seems absolutely shockingly unnecessary and brutal.

Ok, it's finally picking up again. I am finding myself skimming the battle scenes, I don't really care how close to zero Horza gets every. single. time. But I am rooting for Balveda and Fal'Ngeestra as much as I am for Horza - maybe moreso? Predictably, I LOOOOOVE the universe. I hear later books get a lot better. This is... just ok, but great scene setting. Horza is not a character I care much about.
