  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

4.0

The character M Gladstone is why I finished this book. A badass space empire KWEEEN who MOTHERED from start to finish. The rest was a sci fi obviously written in the 1980s and everything that comes with that. But has a stronger plot carrying the book through than the first book.
