Love seeing some of my favorite characters ...even as the continue to deal with the consequences of the events of the previous trilogy. The ending is rather breathless... it's gonna be long year until the next one.

Wow! Just wow. Can not wait to listen to the next book. Narrator, Angèle Masters, ☆☆☆☆☆+ infinity!
I forgot how much I liked K.B. Wagers's writing! This is a rollicking space intrigue story, and I really like Hail. The ending had me absolutely desperate for more.

IT IS SO RUDE TO END THIS ON SUCH A CLIFFHANGER WOW. I absolutely adore Hail and Friends, I would kill for all of them. This universe is fabulous political sci-fi that's so rich in history and character relationships. The first trilogy was more action-packed and fast-paced, but from this book it looks like this next series will be more focused on Hail's inter-personal relationships and her personal development which I AM SO HERE FOR!
I cannot recommend these books enough I love them all and I hope they never stop coming.

At the end of the Indranan War trilogy, I just wanted more of the characters and especially more of their universe. This book, the first in a new trilogy, totally delivers on that. For me, these characters evoke a very Bujold/Vorkosigan vibe, but with a different and very interesting flair. The storyline here is an interesting start to the trilogy and I look forward to seeing what happens next!
For readers new to Indrana, I wouldn't recommend starting here because I think the backstory is important to really enjoying this book - start with Behind the Throne and move forward from there.

I have mixed reactions with the start of the 2nd trilogy. There was some good action and world building regarding the Indranan Empire, but it suffered from far too many details regarding Hail's security detail and how much they loved her. Things (Finally!!!)picked up near the end and hooked me enough to carry on with the next book.
