review 1: Very much enjoyed this kind of side-story in the series about the Korval family, although perhaps I shouldn't have read it yet since it was alluding to events that I hadn't read about yet--like Korval clan being kicked off Liaden and moving to Surebleak. The story revolves around young Syl Vor, the son of Nova, who is trying to help his family integrate into the gangs and Bosses social hierarchy of their new home world. I loved the new setting and people, including the Bedel people who are healers and seers living hidden under the town, with the feeling of gypsy type folk. I thought the story ended a bit too quickly but it is one of my favorites so far.
review 2: This is a collateral book in the Liaden World series by Sharon Lee & Steve Miller. Two of the majo... morer POV characters are children, albeit children who have faced adult problems and concerns. But the third major POV is adult (very adult at times) so can't call this a book for middle grade.An interesting segue on Surebleak, with all the curious touches of culture examination that Miller & Lee are so well known to use. Another Agent of Change has slipped the leash--can he stay off it? We get to know Boss Nova and her gang a bit better, too! less
