Embers of War
by Gareth L. Powell
The House of Reclamation is an organization dedicated to rescuing those who are in distress regardless of their affliction.
Those who join have their own reasons for being apart of the house but all had denounced their loyalty towards other groups.
A team from the House of Reclamation answered a distress call from a downed passenger ship and the closer they get the more the crew realizes that there's more going on with that ship than they thought.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
All the characters were well developed.
The multiple POVs added context to each POV even if that character wasn't aware of the connection.
I loved most of the characters and I have a soft spot for Nod
The only character I wasn't a fan of was Ona Sudak.
Like she's an unrepentant war criminal.
She didn't feel guilty for her actions and she kept justifying them to herself and anyone who would listen.
The only thing that she feels bad about was that her people wanted to put her on trail as they should because she committed a genocide.
I also couldn't believe she tried to use Adam as a example of a good human when she didn't even really care about him.
Like she only slept with him because she wanted to use his musings for a poem.
She didn't care about him as a person, so I kinda grinned when the Judge said he was a child and shouldn't be used as an example.
Anyways, it's a great light space opera read and it's really enjoyable. Most of the things sprinkled throughout the book connects to the end.
