The series finished with a bang. The first of the trilogy was somewhat slow because the politics of many worlds and factions had to be explained. But the second and third books were faster with lots of action and excitement.
All the books have been told from at least two characters' perspectives, usually about the same plot points. This one had two very different settings - Ean on the ships and space station working on the lines and Radko on a covert ops in enemy territory. The writing is great at space battles and spying, and the characters are further developed. Several of the minor characters are also well-developed rather than just added to move the plot along.
I'm really hoping the authors put out another five or six books. I really enjoy their stories and their style.
