Burndive (edition 2003)

This book wasn’t quite as powerful or visceral as Warchild, but that’s hardly a flaw. It’s an excellent book, and one I heartily recommend to science fiction readers ONLY after they read Warchild. It’s not necessary, because Lowachee does well with feeding you info on a need-to-know basis, but trust me, this world she’s created only gets richer as you read, so do yourself the favor of reading the books in order. I plan on reading the next book, Cagebird, right away, even though I was going to save it. I’m too wrapped up in what’s going on, and I want to see how this plays out. I know it’ll be satisfying, and I also know it just might break my heart into a million pieces. And I can’t wait.

Great writing, but not as interesting as the other novels in this series. ( )
