Kriegsschiff (Saga der Schwarzen Flotte 1)

The story packs in real military detail but also dives into the characters' personal struggles. I'm curious how he managed to keep both engaging without one overshadowing the other.

The tactical battles were intense, but some conversations felt a bit slower. I wonder if those moments were meant to build tension or flesh out the universe.

The world-building feels rich and lived-in, which made me want to know more about what inspired Dalzelle to craft this particular universe and its conflicts.
