review 1: While I did enjoy the story, I had a hard time putting everything together in a way that made sense. Many things become more apparent by the end of the book but are confusing as you read along. Some of the diologue I had to re-read several times. It wasn't always immediately apparent if a Companion was speaking in one of the character's heads or if it was another character. I like the idea of a murder mystery but the plot moved along a little too slowly with not much action. I also would have prefferred less viewpoints and more of the main character. I felt there could have been more depth to the main characters. Having said that, I still liked the story, especially the end of the book where things suddenly made sense. Now that these characters are out there, it wo... moreuld be great to read more about them in future books.
review 2: I had high hopes for this book but in the end the plot was muddled. There wasn't enough of a connection to familiar things to bridge the gap into the sci fi world for the reader. In Star Wars, when Leia call Han a "scruffy nerf herder" we get the reference even if we don' t know what a nerf is. There weren't enough connections like that and plot ultimately comes together not in the last 100 pages but in the last 25 or so. I really lost interest way before then. less

Good sf novel with a twisty plot, featuring a MATURE female protagonist.I enjoyed it a lot.
