Idris, who has spent decades running from the horrors of his past, finds himself thrust back onto the battlefront. As an Intermediary, he could be one of the few to turn the tide of war. With a handful of allies, he searches for a weapon that could push back the Architects and save the galaxy. But to do so, he must return to the nightmarish unspace, where his mind was broken and remade.
What Idris discovers there will change everything.
"eyes of the void" keeps the pace going and doesn't deviate from the formular of the first book. Still not on par with the great sci-fi classics but a good read for me. The characters aren't getting on my nerves, the plot is mysterious and keeps me curious and has the right amount of epic-ness to it. Though the last 200 pages were action non-stop which got a little bit tiredsome.
did not finish. unbearable. i don't know what it is about trilogies that makes tchaikovsky so much less interesting an author - some of his standalone novels are the best contemporary science fiction.
Entretenido pero mucho menos impactante que el primero, que además de original, fue mucho más emocionante. En esta segunda parte la trama parece más lenta, no hay muchas revelaciones ni novedades, y da la sensación de ser un libro de transición y con algo de relleno. En general me ha gustado, y va de menos a más, pero no lo he disfrutado tanto como el anterior.
A well-written bloody good story.
