review 1: Enjoyable, but disappointing as it could have been a lot better. The concept was pretty good but I didn't think it was written very well, which was a shame as I really liked the first book in the series and don't remember there being the kind of sloppy writing in that one...Many things didn't really seem realistic or make sense, such as the way the H/H just were automatically in love pretty much and accpeting of each other was odd... ...and a few times through the book I actually checked back to make sure I hadn't somehow skipped some pages as peoples thoughts/feelings jumped around too quickly without the logical progression - and often people seemed to know things before they should/before they were told (like names and things that had happened) and then there was no ex... moreplanation as to why.
review 2: More love! This one was a bit different from the others. Only one major sex scene, and a lot more spaceship fun. It follows several stories, eventually converging into two seperate stories and then into one. One follows Wren, the Warlord's neglected Daughter as she tries to stay alive in the new, unified universe that just happens to want her dead for her father's sins. Another story follows Aral, one of the Warlord's battlelords who turned spy and single-handedly brought down the Warlord. Then there's Vantos, famed runner who's survival during the war crossing back and forwards cross the Borderlands is of no use now that the war is over. Finally, there is Hadley and Bolivaar who appear in Moonstruck. The pair are now a couple, and Hadley, is no longer Brit Bandar's PA, but a fully fledged captain sent on her first mission to try and find an ancient text belonging to the Goddesses. Eventually, all four groups converge on board Hadley's ship, the Cloud Shadow, for a show down that may serve to be the only thing that will save Wren from a revenge execution. I must say I missed Brit and Finn from the previous book - those two really grew on me - but it was nice to hear little remarks about the pair of them (primarily that Brit was no longer helming spaceships but teaching students and that the pair were married and expecting a baby - I really liked hearing that, it wrapped Moonstruck nicely). Hadley and Bolivaar's relationship felt less mysterious and sweet in this one, but at the same time, there was a resulting maturity to Hadley that was nice. I liked Wren and Aral, pitied Wren for her circumstances, Aral for his father's torture, envied Wren for the easy fix to her poor eyesight (a couple of drops of nanomeds into her eyes and boom! she can see - if only!). It was a good read, a different persepective on the war. There was only one flaw: at the end, two of the characters move to Australia, the problem in that being that they move to Western Australia. Come on Susan, eveyone knows the best beaches are on the Eastern Coast of Australia - who goes to Perth when you can have Brisbane? less
