This is an interesting sci-fi adventure story with good, intriguing world building and a lot of characters. The plot was very engaging and kept me turning those pages. I also liked the idea of the ark of souls. It's a great concept, and combines the sci-fi elements with some religious concepts, which made the whole idea so much more interesting.
I also appreciated the Star Wars style intergalactic politics. This novel gets into the grittier aspects of politics on this large scale, which made it a lot of fun. I also enjoyed having characters from both sides featuring as the story progressed. It was fun to see the situation from the very different points of view, and how they all strive to achieve their goals within the framework of the circumstances.
I like the fact this novel ends, and sets things up for a continuation without a cliffhanger. I'm definitely curious to keep reading. The set up for the next book has me intrigued.
