Solid second entry to the series. Characters getting more fleshed out and the universe within is taking shape.

I was greatly disapointed with this book. I started to read this book series expecting military science fiction. Most of this book was political bullshit. Kris was stranded on a bloody planet all through the book for Christ sake!

Sure, the Kris' maid and all here gadgets, a bit 007-style, was quite fun and the book wasn't poorly written which is why I didn't give a 1-star but it was just not at all what I was hoping for.

I would expect, or at least hope for, more focus on the military aspect and less on booring political intrique.

not bad building out but after the 8th read through on this series. The first 5ish books are not as fun to read as the later books. I did like the pirate feeling of this. I wish that in certain parts of this series we lean into that pirates more.

Even better than book one!

Not a bad story, but the almost-schoolboyish focus at times on the heroine being semi-naked was a bit detracting and repetitive after a while.

It's not a bad book, but it's nowhere near as strong or as fun and engaging as the first.
