Our view

“The Temporal Void” is the middle volume of a space opera split between far-future science fiction and a strand that reads like fantasy. Some readers want more of the fantasy story, while others find it the slighter part, however enjoyable. Around 750 pages, and dependent on the first volume, which some rate higher.
