jackThis has so much I love.
An interesting space empire, full of detailed calendrical minutae, customs, etc, etc.
A mathematically gifted protagonist struggling to serve loyally as a minor officer in the infantry.
A legendary rogueish maybe-monster.
The empire is built on basically mathematically-based magic, following particular social codes (both on an "infantry formation scale" and a "society as a whole" scale) allows various exotic technologies to work that wouldn't otherwise, including more powerful weapons and other tech that enables the empire to function at all.
I had some reservations too, which may contain spoilers, so will be moved into a follow-up post. Please make any comments which contain spoilers on that post too.
