This is one hell of a book, and I didn t want it to end Fast paced, fun, empathetic, with a flavor of Douglas Adams, it s an ensemble space opera adventure populated by brilliant flawed women Gladstone has written a universe full of beautiful, weird, original worlds and species, and his prose is stellar Also it s super gay.
First things first I had a great time As in, this is a goofy, fast paced, unabashedly hard SF, galaxy spanning space opera mania that mixes cloud computing universe spanning quantum computing with the afterlife, instant travel, world eating gods, cyborgs, huge space battles, and a HUGE baddie in the Empress of Forever who is literally impossible to defeat because she IS the substrate of the entire universe I just described When it comes to the whole grab bag of SF concepts and the way it is all put together, this is no lightweight SF It made me dance around, happy as a pig in muck, and I pretty much forgave anything else because Gladstone KNOWS his genre inside and out I thought he couldn t be topped in the UF field, but I should have had a bit faith So why aren t I giving this a full 5 stars Because the plot is kinda standard and predicta Pitched as feminist Guardians of the Galaxy crossed with Star Wars .

Vivian Liao is a Jobs like tech entrepreneur whose found herself in trouble with the government While going through her ultimate plan to not be waterboarded she s attacked by a bizarre green figure working with technology that might as well be magic Afterwards she wakes up naked and cocooned in a far future posthuman galaxy where even the substrate of space is programmable, and the whole thing is brutally and capriciously ruled by an all powerful Empress As Vivian gathers allies and makes enemies in her mission to return to her time, her presence has a massive effect on the universe around her.
This is too long for what it is The allies that Vivian gathers are interesting, but the processes of meeting each of them and the groups t

Do I get to write the first review It s amazing ☆ Empress of Forever Ç Empress of Forever is a bit good though the novel is complicated and its length is quite annoying.
I am a huge fan of the author s work and so was excited for this excerpt After reading it, I have to admit that I am ambivalent about this story I really enjoy the three main characters But the plot is confusing me Multi worlds Weird empress Dead worlds A cloud that seems to control this world I am not adverse to finishing this book to see what the payout might be But I can t say that I be excited to do so either I will be interested in seeing what the reviews of the full book will be Arrrr I requested this knowing that I loved Gladstone s Craft series, and that he can write an engrossing and unusual fantasy world when he puts his mind to it Empress of Forever starts a bit like a movie where the Bored Super Rich Person Who Still Doesn t Take It For Granted I forget which movie that was Who Walks Away From It All to do something mysterious The U.
