" Venera Fanning is an intriguing character, not the typical unsung hero that you get in a lot of sci-fi and fantasy. She is calculating, crafty, and intelligent. It was definitely interesting and entertaining to read a story from her perspective, but I don't think I enjoyed it quite as much as the first in the series. "

" A worthy sequel with a very different feel. Perhaps even better than the first. "

" Drink this book down like a bottle of good Italian bubbly, a Malvasia preferably. It goes down fast and easy, and doesn't feel bad doing it. Adventure, intrigue, some cool ideas, and bang and over. An afternoon's pleasant work. "

" Second book in the series. I found that it was better then the first; the world building (which gets a lot of mention in professional reviews) is really first rate. The character development of Fanning from Book 1 was great, and Dismandis were very engaging. Looking very forward to the next book. "

" Great follow up to Sun of Suns. The change of main character is something I enjoyed since we got to see this character in a new light, and the world building keeps getting better. "

" I enjoyed it. I certainly found it more interesting than book 1. The world of Virga is imaginitive, although there were times where I had to suspend my disbelief in order to enjoy the book. "

" Good follow up of "Sun of Suns". Again, I was impressed with the world that Schroeder has put together. This one was focused on a giant state-ring floating in the balloon-world of Virga. Ancient and crumbling, paranoid and vicious, my favorite. "

" An original world. Schroeder has a great imagination. "

" Definately pickup from Book 1, Sun of Suns. Once I was able to get going with it the book became harder to put down. "

" More of everything! fast, awesome worlds and characters. I think I caught a few nods to Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun which made it even cooler to me. Badass. "

" Even better than Sun of Suns. Venera Fanning is a great character. I'm naming my first daughter after her and my first son after Karl Schroeder. "
