Between Darkness and Light

I am enjoying this series. It is a true epic and the author has made a massive effort in world building with a vast number of aliens, cultures, religious ideas and characters that is very entertaining. There is also a lot of aliens having a lot of sexual encounters, often due to various chemical/biological compulsions. They are having sex within their own species, with other species, with multiple multi species partners, with the opposite sex, with the same sex, in triads, well you get the idea. Anyways, all that, plus all the galactic politics makes it all a lot of fun to read. On to Book 8!
