My prediction is that this series will be either my top favorite sci fi/fantasy space opera or at the very least, in the top two.
The intricacy of Steven Erikson combined with the beauty of Robin Hobb's prose - I found this book to be an elegant story of one man's life story/history. I'm flabbergasted to discover this is a debut novel - it's perfection. Even though Ruocchio has our main character, Hadrian Marlowe, telling us the story and thereby spoiling it, the beauty of the story is how Hadrian grew from the young man we first meet to the elder one who became the Sun Eater, destroying of planets and billions of people in the process. It's a meticulous telling, very slow paced, but there are no wasted words. Everything is important and factors in.
I absolutely cannot wait to continue this series.
