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- I had to trudge through the middle part of this book because the pace moved slower than my liking. To be honest, the whole last 150ish pages held some amazing actions sequences, but besides that and the first 100 pages, this book was slower than molasses!
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 one of the best, which was overdone a few times. Space is a marvelous setting for any story, and I don’t know if Christopher is known for beautiful prose, but he truly proved himself at least a bit for me.
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.
