Long, complicated read. Found it rather hard to follow at times with the story jumping around so much. Kinda dreading the fact that there are 3 more books in the series sitting here on the shelf to read.

I absolutely loved the worldbuilding, the end once the plot threads came together, and the prose, especially around the more mystical aspects of the universe. But the first three quarters of the book are too scattered and the quick cuts between places and sets of characters made it feel unfocused, and I didn't feel that I was spending enough time with characters to really get a feel for them, especially Susan.
On the bright side, though, Space Templars!

The human civilization is based on a non-European history dominated by Aztec and Japanese cultures, which gives the entire story a very interesting flavor. The book is almost worth reading for that alone, but no!
The plot itself involves one of my favorite science fiction memes: an archaeological team on an apparently abandoned planet discovers something very ancient and dangerous. The author deftly juggles the stories of three or maybe more sets of characters in following how they attempt extricate themselves from the immediate peril and prevent further consequences to humanity.
I will be glad to follow this author in other books, whether set in the same universe or not.
