![]() ![]() I think it’s just right for this kind of story where the balance of deftness and a delicate hand is required. She strikes a balance between the physicality of war and the emotional toll it takes on troops on the ground, and between the personal and the political. Her prose is exacting, to the point, and she doesn’t waste space summing up things for you nor does she dwell too long on sentimentality. She’s favorite among my circle of friends, and now that I’ve read one of her books, I can see why. ![]() Tanya Huff is a new author for me, one I’ve been meaning to read for years now, just never had the chance. Another point in this book’s favor is it’s the beginning of a new series that looks like it could be really good, if the first book is any indication, and I’m looking forward to diving in further. This was a surprisingly enjoyable read, although that will never not be weird to say about military fiction (even in genre). Initial impression upon first finishing the book:Ī rollicking good read, and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would considering this is military sci-fi that’s light on the sci-fi and heavy on the military. ![]()
