I really dislike Jarn and I want Cherijo back. Although the latter is bitchy and rude, Jarn is doubly so plus she is self-righteous and judgmental and seems to be miserable all the time. She dislikes everything, doesn't understand why anyone does things differently than she is used to, yet her culture was horrific and treated her like garbage. As of the last book, she has the memories of both characters even if Cherijo's don't feel like her, so why can't she see that the horrifically sexist and backwards culture she came from wasn't perfect? I actually tossed the book aside completely done with the series but I read a spoiler about the next book and I'm considering going back. It possibly will get better. Possibly. ( )

Determined to keep their daughter and the Jorenians safe from further war, Jarn and Reever slip away on a scouting mission. Finding and if possible neutralizing more of the black crystal is their stated goal, but in reality they're after more personally deadly quarry - whoever's put a bounty on Jarn/Cherijo's head.

An old contact of Reever's offers a clue - but everything isn't as it seems. In short order the pair are marooned on a blockaded planet with a skin-stealing shapeshifter and a 30-day deadline. With no time to lose and no one to trust but one another, can Jarn and Reever get out alive?

Well, since they currently appear to be immortal, the better question would be, how much damage are they going to take in the course of solving the colony's problems. Fast-paced, with plenty of conflict, action, and twists to keep things moving. ( )

Full of action and interesting characters. A light read. A few continuity errors though. ( )
