Loading... Raven's Peaceby Glynn Stewart
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  wildwily | May 28, 2020 |   It was an enjoyable read. The plot has complexities that make for a solid narrative. The characters are a little thin, but as the first novel of a series it didn’t *over* introduce and describe them, leaving something for the future. There was something that failed to ring true about many of the military interactions. A lack of intensity or that little bit of snap. Maybe it was a missing character, that Chief who growls or the XO who seems merciless. They started out complaining about getting the dregs of the fleet and managed to gloss over that almost instantly. It was a sub plot that was almost ignored as soon as it was established and it left a hole in the development of the story. I still liked it. I just think it could have been better. I will likely preorder the next novel. (  ) wildwily | May 28, 2020 | no reviews | add a review
