" Either these books are getting better or I forgot how much fun the first two were. I love the setting Schroeder has developed for these books, and the straight ahead, non-stop action makes them a real pleasure to read. "

" Still enjoying the series a lot, we get a glimpse at another part of Virga, really like how in each book we get a bit of information that is building up to what I hope is a big conflict. "

" A fun ride. Some of the most creative and well thought-out world-building I have ever read. It is a satisfying conclusion to the Virga series. "

" Certainly closes up the series, and the world building is wonderful, but although it gives a resolution for the two main characters it doesn't move the plot along any for Virga which by the third book really should be a character in its own right. "

" Very different from the other Virga books. Excellent, though unusual. It's odd having the "main" character change from book to book in a series. "

" This was a swashbuckling adventure in the classic tradition. A really fun read, furiously paced, couldn't put it down. The world-building was fabulous and the characters, although not what I would call "multi-faceted" were compelling.

" Book #6 for 2010. I liked the story and its complex world. A lot of the characters and their interactions didn't quite ring true to me, though, and I found the ending rushed and unsatisfying. Still, I liked the book enough that I will probably read more Virga books.

" Schroeder's worldbuilding is wildly inventive, and his attention to scientific detail is staggering. Unfortunately, the storytelling and characterization, while both strong at times, were uneven and left me feeling a little cold.

" I know from various SF blogs that there are plenty of people who loved this book. I am, sadly, not one of them. Bored silly, I gave up halfway through.

" This one was disappointing. Flashes of inspiration were drowned out by ... well, everything from inconsistent contexts to out of character prose. Overall, I never bought into the premise. Parts were fun, but...
