This book expands on the state of the recovering universe, defining who the controlling powers are and (as in every book before it) introducing a new and more powerful invader.  This volume differs from others in the past series in that the "main character" shifts about half way through the book, as well as ending in the middle of a conflict with a known enemy.There maintains the same addicting feel as the other books, the same innovation, and the same fast-paced, high action setting.  It'd be nice if there was a bit more time taken on developing relationships.  The 'romance' portion tends to consist of characters meeting and instantly falling in love at first sight and mutually agreeing to spend the rest of their lives together.  Even for non psychics, there is next to no build-up, flirting, or development of any kind.  However, this has been the ongoing theme for the past ~8 books and it's not as if I didn't expect it going in.I will say that because of the unresolved ending and the particularly depressing excerpt for the next novel, I'm not looking forward to the next installment as much as usual, but I have faith that I'll nevertheless be impressed when I do finally get the chance to read it.
