The Bloodlet Sun
Community Rating
Description
Two millennia after a planet-wide disaster, Humanity has once again taken to the stars, only to find themselves a late arrival to a crowded affair.
As the mighty Thorian Empire sits temporarily stagnant reeling from the aftermath of a decades-old war, Earth has the opportunity to establish itself as a more prominent technological and political force. Would a resurgent Empire quash those ambitions once and for all or will it all crumble in the face of an even greater threat emerging from the depths of dead space?
The Bloodlet Sun follows a cast of characters flung across the different corners of the knows worlds, as their intertwining stories affect the course of history and perhaps the survival of all sentient life.

- Poached_EggRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Only the first chapter, and I'm already very intrigued, definitely earned a follow and a favorite. The skill of the worldbuilding was on full display. This world was completely alien (no pun intended) to me, almost nothing in the first chapter is even mentioned in the blurb, but it only took a few paragraphs before I was very comfortable in this setting. The author describes it as a "slow burn", and that's definitely accurate, as one book chapter (and several RR chapters) in and all that has technically happened is a conversation between two aliens. And yet, from that conversation we are fed exposition in a way that doesn't feel like exposition at all. Very impressively done, I look forward to reading more.
- jey114Royal Road★★★★★ 4.5This is a brilliant story of interstellar adventure. The depiction of space travel, politics and emotional relationships is gripping. The aliens are depicted in a way that is both simultaneously familiar yet alien, adding to the richness of the presented universe. The only problem is that large cast of characters makes the story quite slow to develop. I look forward to reading more.
