A lot of the reviewers complain that it doesn't really go anywhere and well, it was cancelled after seven issues in the middle of the first post-introduction plotline.
I'm also not one who complains about the suggestion of a larger universe outside of the main story and characters as I quite enjoy that sort of thing. While I agree with the complaint about little insight into Lady Styx, the point of her character in the New 52 was to create an alternative to having Darkseid always be behind everything in the universe. With that in mind I don't particularly find a problem that she doesn't have any "goal" here, it's just one of probably a million ongoing schemes these characters fall into. I don't think she was being intended as any Final Boss type character. I also don't think the "Green Lantern lore" is really needed here, it's very minimal beyond a general knowledge of Green Lantern stuff. The Green Lantern annual is included because it's a backdoor pilot not because the story has anything to do with Green Lantern stuff other than Green Lantern is the main space franchise book of DC so most space stuff traces back to some Green Lantern story somewhere. The Third Army references and so on in this are because that was the big altering event that had just made it so everyone hates the Guardians and Green Lanterns now, you don't need to know what happened in that story at all.
I would say that I prefer The Omega Men series that was similarly a Green Lantern backdoor pilot type thing but to be fair that one did get a full run.
