I really struggled to read this book at the beginning. It's kind of dense and grim. It is the opposite of a quick, gripping read. I was interested in the subject story and insisted. Left it for a few days and then came back to it, reading 10 to 15 pages per night. Slowly, I got engaged with the story and the characters until the end, when I binged the last 30 pages or so. This book is about politics, power and control between human factions. A space station and a planet, so far from earth, it is easier to think they are their own system, with no attachments to 'home'. A military fleet from earth, rebels, and merchants. Live in the space station is depicted brilliantly. Claustrophobic, breathing recycled air, people living lives which are totally alien to what we have now.
