Considering how well beloved this series is, I gave the second book a chance and was positively surprised with what I found. Gone is the limitation of a competition based education setting and instead we are taking into the vaster realms of interplanetary politics and the fighting for power by the various factions involved.

Thankfully the storyline of the fridged wife of Darrow is downturned and switched into something more believable.

The story takes twists and turns, some are expected, others come rather as complete surprise.

Tim Gerard Reynolds is an amazing narrator.
