A review by crownoflaurel
Angel with the Sword by C.J. Cherryh
2.0
As the second C.J. Cherryh series I've read, I'm beginning to see that the things that did/did not work in [b:The Pride of Chanur|1197129|The Pride of Chanur (Chanur, #1)|C.J. Cherryh|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1316468938s/1197129.jpg|983695] might be hallmarks of the author's style. This had the same strong world building, overuse of cant/slang/swearing (non-traditional speech patterns), fast paced action scenes.
While I understand that this book is just the start of a multi-book adventure (following up with many short stories), the ending seemed a little anti-climatiic. Altair, however, is a rather refreshing character.
