Incredibly complex world buidling

This was a dense book. Chock full of alien species, races, planets, religions, magic, magical science, political alliances, history and wars I knew nothing about. Lots to digest, learn, internalize. The story itself was intriguing and very enjoyable, but I spent so much time, right up to the very end of the novel, feeling lost about this culture, this universe, that I struggled to finish it. Even with only 18 pages left, I grabbed my phone and spent half an hour scrolling through Instagram rather than finish. I did truly like the main characters, Gaer and Iari, neither human, but both incredibly human. If you LOVE incredibly complex world-building, science based on magic, and detailed plots, this book is for you.
