The book was one huge info dump up until page 150, when everything started picking up a little bit. The world building in this book was good, but it took over the whole novel. I was really looking forward to this as the premise sounded really good (I’m loving the whole sci-fi trend!) but I was less than impressed. I’ve never read anything by Garth Nix before but I had heard amazing things about his series for younger readers. In the midst of it all he meets a young woman named Raine, who will challenge his view of the Empire, of Princes, and of himself. Dispatched on a secret mission, Khemri comes across the ruins of a space battle. He also discovers mysteries within the hidden workings of the Empire. Khemri discovers that the moment he is proclaimed a Prince. For one thing, Princes are always in danger. You’d think being a privileged Prince in a vast intergalactic Empire would be about as good as it gets.
