Notes: This is my new all time favorite book! EVERYTHING WAS BRILLIANT! This writing oh my god, how Brandon Sanderson writes space battles! I would have never thought this could be so good, and the characters, the animal sidekicks, the super snarky AI, I am lost for words. I loved everything about it and I'm mad at myself for not picking up Sanderson before! The atmosphere was amazing, I read a 500 page book in 3 days and didn't get bored once! There was a hint at a romance to establish in book 2 but the first book does not have romance. If there's a romance in book 2 I'm definitely dying for it because that would be my favorite trope.
