Review: Convoluted, confusing and whinny....
Rating: 2 out of 5

Book one was an interesting read and I had hoped for some progression in book two, but what I got was a bit boring, a lot of whinning, too much introspection on self doubts and plots within plots that were left dangling or did not make sense.  Traitors on the ship that are caught plotting but no one thinks to tell anyone....a traitorous first officer who is a complicated problem remains on the bridge in a command post...be done with it and fire him.  The Admirals nose and personal appearance....enough already.  We know his wife is six feet something....and she is probably the most interesting character in the book.  Do love her relationship with the sword.  Our hero, the "Little Admiral" is an interesting character but not fully fleshed out...And so on.....I could go on and on but let me say the book is not bad, just not really good, I had expected more.  So two stars...
