Helpful Score: 1
While the characters and plot line were true to the first book, this one was tedious and dry. The authors did not convince me to care about the protangonists, or their fate. The resolution was a little too pat.

This book was pretty good. It started off sort of slow and then really picked up in the middle and didn't stop. This story concentrated more on Bury and Renner, with a few minor charactors thrown in and some old charactors making cameo appearances through out the book. This book showed that some of the Moties had a darker side but most just wanted a solution to their endless wars. I do think I liked the first one better though.
