Talk:Across the Void/@comment-26588912-20190615212034

When I first discovered Choices I was so stoked to find they had a sci fi books. Then quickly discovered that both (ATV & Hero) were on hiatus. I liked both, especially ATV, so when it came back earlier this year I was super excited.

Then it transpired that they either gave up on it & jammed about three books into nine chapters, or they retconned the Void into it because they either didn't know or didn't like where it was going but didn't want a cliffhanger.

All of which is a massive shame as I thought the galaxy they created is really interesting and there's so much potential there. I loved all of the different cultures (which were vastly under explored) and I actually liked most of the supporting characters. (With the exception of the siblings who from what I can tell just spent their entire time trying to manipulate the MC whenever they interact, frankly I'd have thrown them off the ship regardless of how they proved themselves. But I suppose it gives them character.)

I really hope Choices go back to this at some point, because I think they could do a great (if a little cliche) sci fi series in this universe now they've introduced it. Even if they pick a new era and characters, it could be great.
