The Aryshan Empire and Earth are on the brink of war!
The Stars Entwined is the first installment in an epic space opera series by multiple award-nominated science-fiction writer Jon Del Arroz. If you like Old Man’s War by John Scalzi or Rogue World by B.V. Larson, then you’ll love this epic adventure with action, intrigue, and an escalating interstellar war between galactic civilizations.
After several recent attacks along the border of Aryshan space, internal affairs agent Sean Barrows is brought to Palmer Station to ensure the Interplanetary Navy’s on the right track in their terrorism investigations. What he discovers could lead to the biggest war the galaxy has ever seen. Sean’s work leads him to his most dangerous assignment yet—into the heart of Aryshan territory as a spy.
Meanwhile, Aryshan Commander Tamar is being groomed by the Ruling Committee to one day assume leadership of her people. First, she needs to prove herself in warship command. As tensions increase with Earth, Tamar finds herself increasingly isolated as one of the few in opposition to the war. Her troubles deepen when she comes face-to-face with a new member of her crew, the most intriguing man she’s ever encountered.

I did notice some of what I won't go so far as to call plot holes, as they may be covered later on, but a few things stood out.
1. I remember one part of the book mentioned how the main character needed to avoid using human idioms, but shortly thereafter did so, and nothing happened and it was just understood by the aliens. This felt like a mistake or a missed opportunity either for him to realize he did it later and be surprised that he got away with it and think about the cultural similarities or something, or to have it be a plot event of some sort.
2. The romance arc in the story just feels abrupt and forced. It's central to the plot, but it just happens too fast and I found myself thinking the main character just has incredibly bad judgement, though only on one subject. It would have been more believable if he had spent some time struggling with his loyalty and the incredible risk he was taking, but instead he just barrels ahead with it. It's not entirely unbelievable, but for someone who is supposed to be an intelligence officer and not some impulsive teenager, it just didn't work for me.
3. There was a lot of material around how the aliens are basically immune to deceit because of their bond and basically being able to read each other's minds to a degree, but they then proceed to lie to each other and even kill each other.
None of these are necessarily plot holes, and I think it will be possible for the plot to progress to show that a lot of these things represent common beliefs and social norms that can be violated rather than really being as strong as the characters think it is initially. Still, they gave me some pause, as that loop isn't closed in the first book, or foreshadowed for a next book, so I have to wonder if they were mistakes or just a mystery to be solved later in the series.
Overall though it is still an enjoyable listen,
Overall pretty good, but the plot has some gaps
