Finally the series has developed a better continuity between books. The pilots and characters involved are the same for the rest of the series, makes life a lot easier.
There's some intrigue regarding the loyalty of Soontir Fel, an interesting relationship developing between two species who habitually despise each other and a case of mistaken identity. There's quite a lot packed into this volume which, I feel, largely pays off.
I had fun reading this one and found the artwork to be on par with the series as a whole.

Let's call it 3 1/2 stars. The art was mixed - sometimes it wasn't bad, other times, it wasn't good, but the story had a nice mix of political intrigue and action. There were some good character moments - conversations between Han and Fel, Leia struggling with the difficulties of not being able to end the Empire in one move and free the galaxy, Tycho and Winter's continuing relationship, and Nrin and Ibtisam's friendship.

This and the first half of Blood and Honor are the best of this series. I just wish the rest of the series had been as good.
