Umm you know everything

So i was trying to explain this book to a friend the other day and i had to geive like 20 min of explanation, just setting up the world and what was going on before i even started with the story line. And it was really amazing to see how my ideas about the book formed while i was explaining it. I think something that I was looking for in the book, but couldn't find till it was all done was the religious symbolism of the fallen Angels, and the fact that they were the splinters of a destroyed god. And the battle so save a world that we as readers and even the characters themselves did not understand or know.They had so little connection with their ship, much unlike we have a connection with earth. I would really like to read more by this author. And i loved the end of the book, I can't imagine a better way to wrap up the story.
