What a good read. I loved the insight of culture in this book.
Though I really don't like shifters any of them it was a good read. I prefer vampires over shifters anyday of the week. Still a good read.
Like the first book of the series, this is a fun, but rather simplistic book. Ship that mutinied in the first book decides to go pirate. First they take on another pirate (not wanting to go after innocents or military people just doing their job), then run into problems fencing the stuff that their target killed brutally for. This brings them a few new crew members, into conflict with another pirate, and a change of careers again. The plot is very much and A then B then C then climax sort of plot. No secondary plots, no real character development, no real complications, and a few areas are glossed over rather quickly. Fun, but in no way challenging to the reader. And it still doesn't feel like part of the universe I've enjoyed in other books (although it also takes place more than a thousand years before the volumes I've read, like the excellent Santiago: A Myth of the Far Future. Still, I plan to read the remaining three books in the next few months, since the writing is engaging, and sometimes you just want a little mind candy.
