Review: Lots of Interesting Kalquor History

Since I am a big fan of the Clans of Kalquor series, I really enjoy reading the Clan Beginnings books and getting more backstory, not only on the clans, but also more Kalquor history. Clan, Honor, and Empire provides a lot of Kalquor history, Clan Rajhir's beginning as well as some insight in to more than one of the other Kalquor clans featured in the series. You get a lot of bang for you buck with this one!The story seemed to drag for me though. Maybe it was too long. But mostly because I don't think I liked the members of this clan as much as I have others. Breft is too young. Flencik is too needy and Rajhir, for a Dramok, is too indecisive. Don't get me wrong, it was still a good story and in telling it, Ms. St. John give us more insight into the three Kalquorian breeds. I just can't rate it as high as all the other Kalquorian books.Having read Clan, Honor, and Empire, I am now ready to read the re-edited, expanded version of Alien Embrace and the story of Clan Rajhir's search for a Matara. Having first read this initial book of the Clans of Kalquor series a few years back, it will be interesting to revisit.
