Summary: Angst ridden book
Review: Meluch writes readable character driven scifi 'space opera'/'family drama' but with a scientific bent to it. Sovreign tells the story of an extremely conflicted man driven by his biology and desires for things he isn't allowed to have. In the end I think he realises that 'settling' for what he can have might not be that bad.

There's also a lot of worldbuilding and political & quasi-religious machinations-subtle and complex you almost don't notice it and woven into the personal story of the protagonist Teal Ray. If you like scifi which is less technobabble and more about people who live in different contexts of our contemporary world then you might enjoy this.
