Navvy Dreams by H.M.H. Murray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Good, sprawling space opera filled with hot space pilots, tragedy, intrigue, and all the seedy underbelly of the universe.

Honestly, this has a lot more going on under the hood than I usually see in space opera. Complicated plots, many characters, and even though the blurb is slightly misleading as to my expectations, the end product is, at its core, a big universe full of hard-survival.

It's pretty balanced, too, for storytelling. It's not light on wordbuilding and the characters are fairly fascinating. It makes me think of other long SF adventures, and it's a pretty comforting read because its familiarity.

I definitely recommend this for anyone hankering for a new space opera.
