It was difficult to remember all the characters, since I had left a few months between book 2 and 3.  I just love Justice of Toren. She's a total John Luc Picard.

For a space opera, space ends up feeling really small. There are only a few characters that are not flat. The aliens feel like purely Checkov's aliens. I wish all these concepts – ship and station AIs being autonomous and making choices for themselves, aliens so alien they don't share the same concepts – were explored more. They're mentioned, but in a "oh and we might have to think about this" way.
