I'm taking off a star because of my visceral hatred of perpetuals.The last stand of Camba Diaz is probably the best fight scene I read this year, and that's saying a lot. The Ollanious plot was clever in a way I didn't expect.

It's a lot of work to even go through Siege of Terra and I truly don't think there's point in skipping books in this last leg of the journey. Even though BL has put their top writers to work here, the prose of Abnett is still so much better than that of others. Plotwise, the loyalists get a bit of a break, lots of Abnett's characters (that I actually remember to my surprise, the dramatis personae is huge). So a great book in this context, but don't take it out of it and try to read just this one.
