Allegiance of Honor by Nalini Singh

3.0

Oh. My. God. I'm pretty sure we caught up with every single character from the Psy-Changeling series (and they are many!) in between plotty stuff happening. This was, I believe, the first book in the series which does not focus on a standalone romance, and while I sort of understand its purpose - and there was an actual plot, hurray - it mostly read as fanservice, where people we haven't seen/heard from for most of the series to date (e.g. Clay's mate, Talin) show up to do something cute and schmoopy with their beloved, and at various points the plot stalls out so that the combined forces of SnowDancer and DarkRiver, the two changeling packs which control most of California and have a serious economic and political impact on the rest of the world, can plan a party. Under no circumstances should this book be read without a thorough love for and familiarity with the rest of the series. Did I read it? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Yes. But it's essentially one giant postscript for lovers of the series.
