Cold Welcome by Elizabeth Moon

4.0

For the most part an enjoyable book. I really liked the previous books for their new angle on interstellar conflict, but this book was almost entirely set on one world with our protagonist stuck on a small raft and then a small island with nearly no communication to the rest of the world. That a society with interstellar travel couldn't get to Ky and her crew in less than several months when their basic location was known seemed a little unlikely, but I was willing to give the book the benefit of the doubt as clearly that was the scenario the author wanted to explore. It threatened with getting tedious at times, but usually whenever that happened the status quo changed and brought new life to the story. All in all, well worth the read.
