A space sword and sorcery story that didn't age well. Features colonial attitudes.

An enjoyable read, pretty light on the science side of things.

Ehhh. This one was ok. It's not a bad read. But it really isn't as strong as the first three (we're not counting The City). The premise is a particularly familiar one and I didn't find myself excited or surprised by any part of this adventure.
For now this is my exit from the series, which is a shame with only two to go but since they are sequels for this and The City I'm inclined to let it go and maybe come back to it later.

Interesting and a bit frustrating at how helpless our brainship and brawn were for most of the book. A bit off putting how fast Mage Chaumel went from torturer with glee to understanding, upstanding, helpful world leader. My head spun and I felt it should not have been accepted or ignored. Otherwise, a cute twist for the gamers to have their game come to life.

I hadn't read the Brainship books in years so I decided it was time for a re-read and I happy to report that they stood up to the test of time. I really enjoyed the story and found myself very interested in the characters in these books. I am super glad I read them again.
