Review: Good addition
Rating: 4 out of 5

What kept this from being a 5 star addition for me was the many character conversations that droned on and on for pages. Yes they were about political intrigue and such, and therefore tended to beat around the bush so to speak, but I dont remember the first books being like this. They had just as much intrigue and subterfuge but it was handled much more to the point. Others may feel differently, but I found myself skipping pages to get to the point. Two other things bothered me. One was no other character has saved our good Admiral, performed more miracles more often than our Engineer, but when he says has a fix ready to go, no one takes him seriously. Really? Secondly was the ending, mother, sister, wife and NOOOOOO. More stuff was crammed into the last 2 chapters than the first third of the book. It felt rushed.I look forward the the next book.
