This first of a trilogy is an example of great world-building. The physical characteristics of the Flow, the Interdependency of worlds, and the office of the Emperox (essentially the grand leader) are excellent and make for a compelling read. Scalzi sets up an impending collapse of interconnectivity of the empire, and I'm fascinated to see how it goes. I especially appreciated the strong women in the story. I already have the next book and will start it right away. 2018 Hugo Award Best Novel finalist and 2018 Locus Award winner.
