The Clan Chieftains rebuke Cluthian's bid for Chieftain status, so he turns to amassing alien-tech weapons with which he may take what he wants by force. Te'a has gotten a taste for flying, and despite the class rules against her - she wants nothing more than to become a pilot. She convinces Gummy to pressure a mysterious underground operator to circumvent the rules, but in doing so, Gummy has made a deal with the devil (yes, Cluthian) that is certain to come back to haunt him and Te'a.
The book also takes us to Souk station where the various heads of clans are meeting as a power battle is breaking out with who controls what and the jockeying of position to fill an empty position. It's not bad or anything but it's just kind of clunky with how it's introduced and the lack of real clarity to it, especially as a bridge from what we saw in the past to the present. I continue to like the big picture ideas here and the cast so far is decent enough, but it's struggling to come together into a compelling storyline because so little is being given to it as opposed to a lot of different plot threads to poke at.

If nothing else, I will say I'm more invested and interested in seeing where Clans of Belari goes from this point on, so in that regard, this is a solid second outing. Read Full Review
