Okaaaaay this how we‘re starting out with a BANG!! I loved it.
I‘m a fan of the series and although her writing style has changed (I believe due to religious views) I still enjoyed the books. I‘m not at all bothered Galen didn‘t get a full book because he wasn‘t central to the story for as long as the other Lords were. It was enjoyable and to the point. I think the Cronus clone twist was a little odd but safe to assume we‘ll be seeing more of that come the final books.
