After so many full books in this series from only a few PoV, I was delighted to have more perspectives on the world and see glimpses of what else was going on.  I am pleased that there is a mix of genders and races, and having a large number of female-identifying characters in positions of authority and power that their different styles of leadership could be shown without one of them having to do the usual scifi Paragon To Represent All Women.
