Why read it?

1 author picked The Price of the Stars as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is my favorite type of space opera: bigger-than-life characters, tons of action, with great sense of wonder and a world full of surprises. The women characters are excellent, as well.

There is a touch of fantasy in this series that I found sparked a hint of the numinous.
