Review: Disappointing Detour
Rating: 4 out of 5

When the first book finished, it looked like there was going to be a voyage to find the home world of the ship, The Wanderer.The second book starts (spoiler alert) with many reasons why a direct voyage to the Wanderer's home cannot be made. So, while there is plenty of action, this book isn't quite as stand-alone a book as the Escape ... there is less character development of the characters and the ending seems to be simply a spot to stop... to start another adventure again.I'd have rather had a longer book... with much more accomplished and done... with the ending accomplishing something... like actually getting the slaves and prisoners off the ships ... you know... the details?While I really enjoyed the first book... I didn't enjoy this one as much. I'm still giving it a generous 4 stars... but it's really more a 3 star book.And, because this one was so short... I'm now thinking that this story will be drawn out into many more books... just for more money, instead of actually telling the full story in a decent trilogy. I purchased the second book and was severely disappointed.I did receive the first book at no cost... so splitting the cost over 2 books... isn't bad ... but really... I'm so disappointed and as much as I was enjoying the world and the story, I won't be purchasing any more of the books.Still good for YA action ... not so good for science fictions fans. While I highly recommend the first book... don't be tricked into spending for this one and expecting the same quality. You'll be disappointed. I was.
