Similar to the first one, nice fluffy SF with cool and scaringly competent heroine.

Read this some time ago and don't remember everything, just that I liked Torin better as a sergeant.

This series is absolutely brilliant, but this instalment didn't work as well for me as the first book. I found it a bit confused at times. Or maybe it was me, I was a bit distracted. I guess I found some of the politics confusing. But it has some characters, lovely family dynamics and I love the strong female representation.

Loved it, more then I expected I would. There is a lot going on, and that is not always my thing, but it somehow got formed into a coherent whole. In the beginning, it was a bit confusing to figure out what was going on, but it becomes clear eventually. I like the family dynamics, the standing together, even though there are hints of power abuse for the good of all. It didn't come to the forefront too much, though. I'm glad the family members themselves are ok with the way their world works, because it could have become bitter otherwise, with the meddling and all. But there was no resentment, and apparently, none of the family felt it was too stifling. Or if they did, they got away for a bit, and this was accepted.

One definitely good thing, the women are awesome, they work together, and they also work together with the men. There may have been meddling, but mostly, there was a lot of support within the family, people backing each other where it was needed. This was cool!
