The Stars Are Legion

For the right reader, I am sure The Stars Are Legion would be a 5 Star book. The setting is unique - a fleet of planet sized bioships that orbit an artificial sun - and is expertly and vividly depicted without any over-explaining. The all-female cast of characters is multifaceted and interesting (though not necessarily likeable) and the plot is compelling (if somewhat confusing). The negative things I would say about The Stars Are Legion are primarily a matter of personal taste; I am just not a fan of action-packed stories full of visceral imagery and violent emotions.
