Review: A great new addition to the Ell Donsaii series

Tou Ceti is a pretty good read. If you enjoyed the last five books in the series you will likely enjoy this too. That said it wasn't quite as good as the other books in my opinion. A large portion of the book was devoted to the two aliens which is fine but then another slice was devoted to Ell and friends simply watching and analyzing the aliens do exactly what we just read about only from a different Point of View. It was interesting to read but it left me feeling like there was less time for Ell which is who I really care about.In this book Ell matures a little bit, I think. Some loose ends are tied up especially in regards to her personal life. But, I don't think she faced any substantive challenges in this book, it was just her going about her life for a few months. Although maybe you could say she was challenged emotionally? In the next book I would like to see Ell challenged in some way, I'd like to see a little more adventure or excitement, maybe face some danger she hasn't seen before.  Still, despite my minor complaints Tau Ceti is overall a positive addition to the series as a whole and I eagerly look forward to the next installment of the Ell Donsaii Story.
