In comparison with the first one I liked this one less. It didn't grab me till the last +- 25%. 

Also it's very hetero; "It wasn't easy for [Zannah] to blend in the crowd; although she was of average height, she was a strikingly attractive young woman. It was necessary for her to take precautions when she didn’t wish to draw the appreciative stares of males, or the envious glances of other females". A whole ficking Galaxy and no gays? No genderless species? (Back to the Wayfarer we go than)

Besides that, as bisexual woman I absolutly loved Zannah. She is strong but knows she still has a lot to learn. In the first book I loved Bane but here, for me, he is a side caracter of Zannah's story.

I'm curious about the last book! And will pick it up soon.

It continues the series of Darth Bane, with an accent on his apprentice.
I will say not so bad, and I want read the next one !

That ENDING though.

Side note: what is going on with the cover art of this trilogy? Like, specifically this book, but also generally all of them are...yeah.
