Gritty enough to retain realism to pour over the future with a nice twist. I find it suffers from a case of the tropes but with everything categorized or seen these days what doesn't?  With its villains so simply evil and many of the memes it leverages being known it sometimes seems a little too driven but then this is a very fun piece of space opera.At points it felt almost too light or even simple an emotional weight was given to carry scenes. On other hand from the perspective of a three thousand year old man what is heavy or complex?  This lightness or rather displacement from humanity did I think detract slightly from the ability to empathize with the point of view.I would recommend it to anyone in genre as a fun read with good pace.
