The Bobiverse is a fractured place after the Starfleet War. Anti-Bob sentiment is spreading, factions are forming, and two far-flung Bobs on an epic 26,000-year journey to the galactic core have discovered something that could answer the Fermi Paradox — and threaten the entire galaxy. The fifth Bobiverse novel is the most expansive yet, juggling multiple major plotlines across an ever-growing cast of Bob descendants.
I've always enjoyed the Bobiverse Series, and this book is no exception. However, I feel like there's too much going on as the Bobiverse expands and it's becoming quite confusing. As a result, this book -- although enjoyable -- felt disjointed. There's at least 4 major plot lines going on at this point, and numerous sub-plots. It's a lot.
I think I would have found this book more enjoyable if Taylor had focussed on just a couple of these plots, rather than trying to cram them all in.
Judging by how this book ends, there's going to be more books in the series, and I'll likely continue to read them, but I'd prefer the next one to be less convoluted.
