A review by skylar2
Nova War by Gary Gibson

4.0

Gibson clearly learned a bit since Stealing Light, with less emphasis on the characters' (especially the female protagonist's) physical attributes and more emphasis on substance: where I found Dakota to be no more than Barbarella in the first book, now she is much more serious, competent, and even scary towards the end. That said, the characters spent a large part of the book locked up and caught in political machinery that they had little control or even insight into.
