I read River's Run and enjoyed it for the most part, so was looking forward to Star's story. It started out quite good with lots of action and I was glad the author didn't rehash the plot as she did in the Dragon Lord series. Star was very feisty, but sometimes I think both she and the Kassian people expected more out of her than she should have been capable of. Seriously, she is a circus performer (high wire) but is willing and able to kill seasoned warriors? At least with River, she had extensive skill with knives. It just became to unbelievable, then downright silly when she was kidnapped and taken aboard the freighter by inept Frenchmen. Really??  I also wish the men would have been stronger. They too are seasoned warriors who took shit from no one, yet these three women ran circles around them. IT just didn't seem plausible. I think I will skip Jo's story, as the idea of an entire circus traveling to the Kassian world seems downright ridiculous and from the bit at the end of Star's story, that might come to pass. I enjoy series, but the later ones have to be as good as the first to keep my interest.
