A review by cjazzlee
The Ruby Dice by Catherine Asaro
4.0
SPOILER
Okay, is anyone else out there dying to know if Jabriol ever finds out what really happened to his parents and siblings, instead of suffering silent, tormented loss and memories?
I like the entire Skolian Empire series, but especially the books focused on Soz and Jabriol (the dad) and on this Jabriol. The Kyle web/mesh stuff wasn't as detailed and difficult to follow as it was in some of Asaro's earlier books and I like the way she fleshed out the "humanity" of some of the Aristo characters.
The threads from her earlier novels are pretty well maintained, some storylines picked up (Kelric's, for example) and developed even further.
I don't know if the author will write more about this character, but he has become a favorite of mine in the Skolian family. I look forward to reading more - it's one of a very few series that has me on tenterhooks, waiting for the next book.
