The Price of the Stars by James D. Macdonald, Debra Doyle
4.0
"Hello. My name is Beka 'Inigo Montoya' Rosselin-Metadi. You killed my mother. Prepare to die."
Beka has spent the past several years piloting around the galaxy and escaping her royal family obligations. But when her mother, the Domina, is assassinated, technically leaving her as the new Domina, she accepts a ship and an assignment from her general father to track down those responsible. She takes to the assignment with gusto, gathering help along the way that includes a mage, an adept, her brother(s), and a potential love interest.
There is plenty of swashbuckling action and a variety of worlds visited while Beka and her crew trace what happened to her mother, why, and who was responsible. She does get her culprits, but the ending leaves her with a continuation of her quest. I look forward to seeing what happens next.
