Not quite was I was expecting, but still good. It may have benefited from being longer (even a duology), so it could spend more time with the implications of the shatterlings as well as flesh out the Andromeda mystery a bit. (Although there was enough of what felt like dead space that I think it could maybe have been fit in here as well.) It was a fascinating universe to spend time in, though. I loved the way we got a feel for the longevity of the Lines. Unfortunately, I didn't find the characters very well-differentiated, though in some ways that's appropriate.
