Review: My least favorite of the series

Honestly, Teasdale's work has become something of a guilty pleasure for me, as it consists of not-quite-erotica of a sapphic bent combined with some genuinely intriguing sci-fi (or sometimes fantasy) babble.  This book was a little more serious and had a lot of promise, but then it turned into a mess about two-thirds of the way through when the author started bouncing from one character's perspective to another like a kangaroo on crystal meth.  The read can go for a long time without hearing anything from Aneka or Ella while the author provides a paragraph (or sometimes a page) from the perspective of one of the many, many random secondary characters that have been introduced in the last several books.  It's so disjointed and spastic that it actually got annoying to read until you get to a random and kind of anti-climactic conclusion.  I think the author needs to stop going back to the "Xinti AI" well quite so often.  If there is another book in the series, this one won't have been enough to completely turn me away from it, but two of these in a row would spell doom for the series.
