Went back and read this. Yuck.

Plot: So damn predictable. Might as well have been stolen.

Characters: The little pilot computer was cute. That's about it. Seriously, the main 'dark' guy/gal just whined too much for my taste.

Style: Completely derivative. A Space Opera with no reason to read it. (

Star Wars-y yarn with flaming swords, genetically-engineered royalty and an Evil Republic about a youth who discovers he's heir to the throne. (

The Lost King by Margaret Weis is the first of the Star of the Guardians series.

Some themes are loyalty and betrayal, how to deal with adversity, and monarchy, theocracy, and republic.
