These Burning Stars is a complex space opera with an interstellar game of cat & mouse. It has some really great world building and tackles important topics such as colonisation, imperialism, theft of resources, and genocide. It's a story of revenge and betrayal and features some really well developed, angry, and morally ambigious characters. There's were some amazing relationships in These Burning Stars, both hateful relationships & loving relationships. A brilliant science fiction novel.
