The Death of Sleep by Anne McCaffrey, Jody Lynn Nye

4.0

I enjoyed Lunzie's unusual timeline circumstances and how she pushes through and handles those major hurdles. Like Sassinak, she's a strong person who takes the hits but relies on her skills and brains to survive. Her interactions with the minor characters are entertaining and ground the constantly changing location in the well-built world of this space adventure. The pacing is very different from most other books, with sudden time skips and occasional glossing over of the emotional impact events have; but this is more an observation than a criticism, since it was noticeable but didn't really limit my enjoyment of the book. I continue to love how easy romantic relationships are in the series, with people actually communicating instead of devolving into petty jealousy and assumptions. I really appreciate the efforts the series goes through to tackle the issue of bias/racism, although it's not perfect.
