I read this book right after a couple heavy books. This was a nice break.
I really loved the first of this series so I was expecting to love this one. What I didn't expect is that this book takes place in an entirely different part of the galaxy and does not include any of the characters from the first one. This can really be read as a standalone. It took me a good 50 pages before recognizing that it was completely different. Same galaxy, different area, different government, different characters.
The story is solid and I enjoyed the ride this book takes the reader on. I appreciate that Maxwell created a character that is chaotic and remains chaotic all the way through. The character does grow, but he still remains chaotic. This was a fun sci-fi novel that was a nice reprieve from heavier books.
I look forward to seeing where she goes from here. Will there be a connecting line to all the coalitions? Will we see some of these characters again? Who knows, but it's a fun read regardless.
