This was good readable fun, but I just don't like Val & Miri as much as I like Shan & Patricia! It does a good job of moving the over-arching story along, and there are some funny moments and some nice bits of character development, but it's not one of my favourites in the series so far.

Ah, so this is a sequel for both of the previous two books. I enjoyed the way the stories overlapped.

These seem to be getting more intricate and action focused. Will read more.

This had such a sad ending! Aw!
I did enjoy this book a lot, but I think it suffers from focusing on too many characters. We have Val Con and Miri adjusting to life on a new planet, an agent that's hunting them, Shan and Priscilla, Nova, Anthora, and even a bit of Pat Rin. There's a lot of setup for later installments happening that can be a bit overwhelming.
That being said, I still had a good time. I love the descriptions, the dialogue, and getting to hang out with some of my favorite characters.
I do recommend this one, but honestly do yourself a favor and read Agent of Change and Conflict of Honors first. Otherwise you'll be really lost.

Decent read, which I enjoyed, but it felt like it dragged on and on in parts.

Enjoyable follow-up to [b:Agent of Change|288771|Agent of Change (Liaden Universe, #9)|Sharon Lee|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1309212303s/288771.jpg|280180], but there were some threads to the action which I felt were not very well explained.
