cakefrog 's review for:
Embers of War
by Gareth L. Powell
How exited one can get about a space opera book? Very much!
To my taste, all was right: the characters were mostly engaging and human-like, especially curious the Trouble Dog ships is a personae of its own. The world constructed by the author quite interesting, but not pressed upon the reader at once.
The story went with a balanced pace and the chapters easily digestible. That is how it's supposed to be.
And, improtantly, this book has no meanningless violence and is not romanticising killing or destruction!
I've already ordered part 2 of the series.
