Review: Overall pretty good, just nothing new

Democracy's Right is overall a decent book, but had areas that could be improved. Old fashioned space opera, with big space battles and marine boarding parties, cyborgs and pirate commanders. The rebel force had several interesting characters, with good back stories and personality quirks. Most of the villains are two dimensional, incompetent hacks, lacking any surprise in their thoughts or actions, and proved to be disappointing adversaries. Several parts of the book were repetitive, phrases and ideas already explained previously were restated in case you missed something. The phrase 'Two brain cells rubbed together' was used entirely too much. Spelling and grammar were pretty good, I just noticed a few mistakes. In summary, it kept my attention, was entertaining enough for the price, and I would read a sequel, but not the best example of the genre.
