There's a pretty solid book here with what it's doing as Ireland lays out the stakes cleanly and clearly along the way. We get a better handle on some of the characters and their family dynamic and that's making the jockeying and sniping make more sense as well. The touch to Sana's background was amusing and a one to lightly do a cameo of sorts without slowing down the main story at all. It's a good-looking book that captures the style well while showing off some interesting ships and a few more alien species as we get further along into. Definitely an enjoyable ride so far.
