I liked the characters, and the fighting was pretty good, I liked the way the army was depicted, the annoying commander in a far away system, the interaction between the people on the ship. I especially liked it that they weren't "wooden" in the sense that "we can never say anything bad about our stupid commanding officer". They were "we shouldn't say something about him, but..." which is a lot more like how it goes in the real army.The fighting scenes were a lot of fun, detailed and joy to read.One thing that really bugged me was that the physics were pretty bad, in particular, referring to things like a ship's top speed, instead of its top acceleration. It feels like the author doesn't grasp the distinction between the two. That said, he does a really good job of dealing with light speed limitations and how important they are for tactical situations.Looking forward to reading more in this universe, especially since the author has done a pretty good job in painting a good back story.
