Space Opera has always been a difficult genre for me to tackle. It all relies on the reader to visualize different species and machines that have never before been seen and I'm just not that good at it. The way Anders structured Victories Greater Than Death, with Tina being "human" and having a wikipedia brain, made easing into this space adventure easy and enjoyable. Never once did I feel overwhelmed or confused by the world that had been created. Most of all, Anders focused on relationships, the ethics of colonization and politics — things that any decent person can understand, relate to and debate with others. I enjoyed Victories Greater Than Death and eagerly await the next book in the series.
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
