A very poorly write attempt at science fiction.

Started off well enough but after a while you realize that the the entire book essentially boils down to. And then... This happened, and then... That happened. Why are zorlons and humans allies? Unclear, why are all star nations kingdoms? Unclear. What are the motivations of every single bad guy? Greed. A princess commits genocide and everyone forgives her instantly because reasons! Why is democracy dead in the whole galaxy? Because this writer should have stuck to fantasy. Two prince's that grow up together as cousins, one turns out to be the most noble and competent, and the other is a douchebag, despite growing up together like brothers, the douche hates his cousin, why? Unclear, never brought up. Things just happen, why are they happening? Who cares, what are the characters motivations or logic? Who needs that. One second the most noble general and friend of the family will do anything to protect the royals, the next he is ready to kill the competent one, why? Because he liked the douchebag mom more. Why would it matter if he would be a terrible king. Just things happening for no rhyme or reason. Zero foreshadowing, zero backstories on anyone who isn't a main character, and worst of all, boring uninteresting space battles. These ships fired, whose ships blew up, thsoe ships maneuver and fired again. It all feels incoherent and underdeveloped on a grand scale. Super dissapointed in this book. 2 ouf of 5 * only because I managed to actually finish it, mostly out of frustration.
