So much of the story was unfamiliar to me that I needed to stay up way too late to find what happens next. I don't think I've ever finished 400 pages in less than a week before. I'm not sure if there were many changes from the TV Mini-series, or if it had just been that long that I'd forgotten. The most memorable scenes were still there, but the love for each other while fighting interstellar fascism is felt more deeply than I had expected. 5 stars highly recommend. Don't need to watch the show to appreciate but will be worth it either before or after.
