fast-paced

3.0

Look, I know all the books in this series are short. That was the way of things back in the 60s and 70s, before books became huge. But this one, while following the Dumarest Saga formula, somehow felt rushed. Maybe it was the large cast. Perhaps the three-planet setting. Or, maybe, the twist. I don't know, I just felt it needed fleshing out, particularly at the end. 
Also, "krang" for Embira's talent?
