it was amazing

As a newbie to Peter F Hamilton, I found one of my new favorite authors!
Exodus was filled with nonstop cool ideas executed beautifully. I was constantly engaged with the setting and characters, always wondering what would happen next. The book is massive in scope, involving time dilation as a front-and-center element of the plot. Finn's journey to becoming a traveler is never straightforward, and watching him grow as a character along with the rest of the cast was awesome.

This being a tie-in to a new game is not to be ignored, although this book never "feels" like one because that game (as of the time I wrote this) has yet to show actual gameplay. I almost feel like the game is second to this great book. But regardless, I am very excited to see how that game develops. As a Mass Effect fan and a reader of many classic sci-fi, this is setting up to be a home run for me. (Heck, I even managed to snag an early copy of the TTRPG book coming out in March.)

Disclaimer: the book does leave off on a cliffhanger. I stepped into this knowing it might, so it didn't disappoint me, but I know that can be a hang-up for some people, especially (again, as of the time of writing) since the sequel isn't out yet. I will be eagerly awaiting to read what happens next to Finn and crew.

I highly recommend it, and I hope the game is even half as good as this book!
