Venom meets space opera.
If you're looking for a wonderful space journey... then look no further than this beast of a book!
Usually I am extremely intimidated by books longer than 600+ pages, so I'm glad that I did not check TSIASOS page count before beginning it. I'll admit a few times I had to trudge through the pages because the pace moved slower than my liking, but this certainly was not an issue for the entirety of the book. To be honest, the whole last 150ish pages held some amazing actions sequences.
My favorite part of this story was definitely the atmosphere and world building around this lush sci-fi. I've been on a role lately in reading novels with stunning descriptions, but TSIASOS was by far the best. I cannot recommend it enough solely for that purpose. Space is a marvelous setting for any story, and I don’t know if Christopher is known for beautiful prose, but he truly outdid himself. A great first impression!
Now I will admit that I advise readers to go into this book with relatively no information. Don't even read the synopsis if you can help it because then you're experiencing the same mystery/ confusion that Kira is. It was incredible. Since I'm saying this, I won't mention much of the plot of the novel besides galactic chaos, Jellies, and an intelligent space ship who is the greatest sass master that space has ever seen.
Thanks Tor Books for the eARC!
