4.0 out of 5 stars The actual story is good, but the "woke" agenda is a bit irritating

The main story line is worth the read if you like space adventures. It has a decent twist on some technological ideas and a fair bit of action.
A down side for me would be the somewhat preachy tone about sexualities, genders, tolerance etc. that the author throws in there. It detracted from the storyline and was a bit irritating... That said, I still gave it 4*. Worth a read... Just skim over the irritating lectures.

Well done, that man! Narrative has a nice flow to it, having grown up with the great writers like Azimov and his era, SF has matured wonderfully! Hats off to you!

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting start to a series
Reviewed in Australia on 27 August 2021

This series starts with the elimination of a species and ends with a plan for reparation. I actually like the hard science explanations of thrust, acceleration and inertial imperatives that dot the pages though my four stars centre on the fact that many of the species mentioned are not fleshed out enough to remain memorable of even necessary for the storyline to move forward. I can only hope they get a more deserving role in coming books to make a five star read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but
Reviewed in the United States on 20 November 2019

It was an enjoyable read. The plot has complexities that make for a solid narrative. The characters are a little thin, but as the first novel of a series it didn’t *over* introduce and describe them, leaving something for the future.

There was something that failed to ring true about many of the military interactions. A lack of intensity or that little bit of snap. Maybe it was a missing character, that Chief who growls or the XO who seems merciless. They started out complaining about getting the dregs of the fleet and managed to gloss over that almost instantly. It was a sub plot that was almost ignored as soon as it was established and it left a hole in the development of the story.

I still liked it. I just think it could have been better. I will likely preorder the next novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not great; but don't judge the rest of the series by this book
Reviewed in the United States on 14 August 2021

There's a lot to love in this universe. Victory over a truly alien species. Fascinating tech. Battles in space. Different alien allies trying to make a peaceful future. But at the same time it's all kind of dull exposition leading up to the rest of the series. It doesn't feel like a whole lot happens, but what does happen has to happen for the point of the plot moving forward. I've read at least one of the other books in this series, and enjoyed them a *lot* more than this one. So, if you read this and felt "meh" at the end? Don't let that stop you from reading book two. Or the rest of Stewart's works, all of which (even including this one) are truly fantastic worlds and stories.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written
Reviewed in the United States on 4 July 2022

Unlike so many other books if it’s ilk, this is actually a very well written and well edited body of work.
The plethora of writings that are so poorly written as to be only semi-legible make for such a stark contrast that one is tempted fo overrate the overall rating of this work.
But after all, it is a space opera with no obvious connection to reality as we know it. It is a fun read however, so I will happily continue on to read the next book in the series, hoping for a continuation of the excellent effort put forth in Raven’s Peace.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stick with it, you will be happy in the end.

Three and three quarter stars. A good book and what looks to be the start of an interesting universe. It was however very slow to build. There are several characters of interest and a strange new environment. I like were Stewart is going here and glad I stuck it out to the end.

As I said it was a slow start and I mean very slow. I almost put the book down for good a couple times. This wasn't any sort of problem with pacing, it is just such a unique universe it took a very long time to build the details. Once the the core action wraps up with the climax, the end moves along briskly and builds up a great interest for future works. Nothing is rushed, but the flow of the characters and action finally return to what I am more used to with one for Stewart's books. Stick with it, you will be happy in the end.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book
Reviewed in the United States on 21 August 2021

This was a great book. I believe it's going to be a great series. I thought at first it was a little slow but when it picked up, boy did it fly. I really do enjoy the idea of Peacekeepers of Soul. And I hope that I don't have to wait long for the next book. Oh, I think I've already got the book. Okay I'm off to read the next 1.
Thank you .

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Start
Reviewed in the United States on 27 November 2019

It looks like the introductory book of a series. It's well written and has good character formation. I enjoyed reading it, and look forward to the next one to see what the build-up volume was all about. Obviously, the concept is pretty standard space opera, but these days it's pretty much impossible to find an absolutely original plot, so be happy to find one that's entertaining.

4.0 out of 5 stars Engaging
Reviewed in the United States on 29 June 2021

The storyline was interesting and maintained appeal in spite of multiple grammatical errors in the prose. Decent character development and acceptable tech advancements. Battles were engaging without being overly complex or bloody. This book ends agreeably with a slight push into the next installment.
