This story was "balls to the wall" action, almost the entire time.
From the previous book...I thought a main character had died...in world, so did EVERYONE else. It was like he was TOO stubborn to die.
BUT, the way that he survived was so much fun to read about. It was SUPER satisfying.
I am liking the Priminae more and more, but like all NEW friends, I am holding back, just a little...and I hope to be proven wrong.
We still do NOT know who the REAL bad guys are. We've seen little bits and pieces of them, but I feel that THESE are the Others that were first mentioned at the beginning of this series. This threat of the Drasin, is ONLY the drones of this other group of people. I believe that they are the Others of the Priminae.
Now that the Priminae are bulking up in a military fashion, I'm hoping that they do NOT turn to their pacifistic ways, right when they need to press forward to find their true ENEMY.
Hopefully the Earth's courageous will encourage the Priminae to press their advantage...while they have the tech to do it.
Also, I do hope that the Terrans (Earthers) can create a NEW Odyssey ship, that merges the pluses of the Priminae ships, but retains the classic greatness of the old Odyssey ship. I missed that in this story.
Great combat scenes, whether it was Gundam to Drasin, or ship to ship, or whatever...it was a LOT of fun to read.
Also, we were introduced to a good group of new faces, and I do hope that a lot of them return in the next story, too.
