Yeah, couldn't think of a more eventful title... so sue me...But anywho, on with the review...I am a huge "Spineward Sectors" fan having read "Admiral Who?" and "Admiral's Gambit" quite a few times and am extremely excited for the next in the series, "Admiral's Tribulation".But I am not here to review those, I am here to review this, "Admiral's Lady (Volume one according tho the book cover): Eyes of Ice, Heart of Fire", and so, without further ado, here I go:I grabbed this without second thought, the page hadn't even fully loaded before I hit that buy button (Slow internet is slow) and was then off again to read. Was that the smartest idea? Probably not, not because the story was bad or even disappointing, but purely because I should look before I leap more often...It was good, different from the main series but then again, written by a different person, not vastly different, but different none the less. This one centers around Akantha and her world but mostly it centers around why she was on the bug ship in the first place. It was a change of pace from the hectic non stop action of the main series right up until the end, which in my honest opinion is a strength.It was also really good to see the rescue of her by Jason Montagne from the first book from her perspective which was as exciting and awesome as it was from his. Also the explanation to why she did what she did in "Admiral Who?" when confronted by the sword actually made some kind of superstitiously primitive species sense.All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this story and would recommend it to anyone who has read the main series which I recommend to anyone who will listen...
