3.0

This book was disappointing to me, it felt like a lot of space was taken up restating what had happened in earlier books and some of Cordelia’s choices really seemed out of left field.  Not a lot of “action” compared to earlier books.  I would have liked the series to end earlier - A Civil Campaign and Captain Vorpatril’s Alliance were much more enjoyable - this left me feeling -meh- when I really liked the series overall.
