Review: Disapointing
Rating: 2 out of 5

It was a struggle to finish the book, and I finally gave up at around 90%. It wasn't worth continuing reading a book I was really not enjoying just for the sake of finishing it. it seemed to be more about relationships hangups than the story, and I got bored reading about the protagonist problems with her love life. I also felt the author used the same plot devices too often, making the overall plot  predictable while at the same time using a continuous highly improbable chain of events to move the story along. ex: the protagonist being central in finding and rescuing 3 successive colonies that were deemed lost in a very short period of time, is pushing beyond the limits of credulity even in space opera. heroics have to be more spaced out as familiarity breeds contempt. After enjoying the first book, I really wanted to like this one, so I forced myself to go on, but I had to finally give up. others might find it more rewarding, but it was a 2 stars for me.
