"I love all of these books. This one really dives into two of the characters in depth, focusing more on their pressures as leaders rather than the Galactic scale of the conflict. Surprisingly didn't mind the lack of combat and it just kept me wanting more. Yay~ "

    " Kelric is back, but with new problems. He finally recognizes his family on Coba which was worth it for me. However, the new problems were never really resolved so I guess I'll be waiting for the next book too. "

    " I suppose this isn't the end of the series, but it would make a good ending. Ms. Asaro writes well; I enjoy her stories. However they are Byzantine to say the least. Also, most of them overlap in time. It really doesn't mean much to read them "in order." "

    " This book was awesome. I love Catherine Asaro's novels because they get so fiendishly complicated with no one knowing what anyone else is doing or has done or is. "

    " Plot threads that lead nowhere. Excessive emoting and phsyco-babble. Improbable events. Loose ends. Not as well-written as the Triad series. Probably not worth reading anymore. "
