Second paragraph of third chapter:

Untethered, her spirit blasted like a lightning bolt back to her real flesh-and-blood body in the Dynast’s palace on the planet Solthar, the center of Unity.

Simply too much invented vocabulary, which I found a real barrier to understanding. Also, second book of a trilogy and I felt the lack of having read the first volume. You can get it here.
