My review of the first book covers this one as well, but as an addendum....there is little to no active character develop in most of these. With the possible exception of Odard Liu, the change and growth experienced by most of the characters, if present at all, is predictable and minor. Very much in fitting with the theme that these are mostly people born into and for the roles in which they serve.
