Welcome to Litsy!

59/150 I'm happy to say that book 2 of the Embers of War trilogy is even better than the first. There's no let down in the action, if anything its ramped up, and the characters are given more depth as we learn more about them and their pasts. Of course there's a cliffhanger ending, setting up the final battle with the Fleet of Knives, but I'm pumped to see how this plays out. 5 big ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sequel. Intergalatic empire AI spaceships.

The POV voices styles are sameish and the plot is frequently twisted in ways that seem inorganic.

Author seems unconcerned with any detailed world building or deep exploration of sacrifice for the greater good, which is readily accepted on the small scale but rejected on the large scale. Same with authoritarian leadership.

Idk it's reasonably entertaining.

A solid middle book, introducing two foes sufficiently terrifying that its hard to decide which is worse and leaving the finale wide open. The Trouble Dog is once again the star of the show, with a side helping of Aliens homage, found family drama and some soul searching for all concerned. But my lingering question is dear stars, was Ona Sudak always this painfully naive? #LitsyAToZ

“If you‘re going to punch a hole in the universe,” she said while fiddling with her pearls, “you might as well do it looking fabulous.”

There are many reasons to love the ongoing evolution of the Trouble Dog.

The Trouble Dog and her crew are back - and I‘ve got a signed copy of Fleet of Knives to give away**! Enter over on my blog if you‘d like a chance at it!
