This second installment in Lost Tribe of the Sith was much more fluid than the first. It's easy to understand the civilization that exists on the planet that the Sith have crashed into. I quickly became invested in Adari's well being and when she runs into the Sith at the end of the book, you're eager to pick up the next chapter in the series. ( )

I felt very little sympathy for the main character, Adari Vaal. I'm not sure why authors think readers will be more engrossed in a character who's dismissive of her children's existence (do they think that's what it takes to be a 'strong female role model'?), but such characters annoy and bore me.

The rest of the plot centers around the eeeeevil creationists attempting to lynch our Brave, Scientifically Correct Heroine (when will this plot line be retired? It has gray hairs). It serves as a basis for helping the Sith be accepted into the Kesh community, and little else.
