A bit flawed....

Revisado: 04-27-24

Technical/Performance: The two smaller stories (Tinsel and the prequel) both have an audio artifact cutting off the beginnings and ends of sentences, Wonky compressor? Whatever it is, I don't need to be distracted by that when I'm trying to sink into a story. The change in narrator after book two, usually a rough edge, was actually a slight improvement.

Story: So very many convenient outcomes! Really muddled situation regarding what started out as competent cost-is-no-object security around the protagonist. Now let's let her wander around! Let's use her as bait! Let's totally bet a bunch of lives on our ability to infiltrate a supervillain lair when we could cut bait and call in an air strike! It worked! Let's do it again next book!

Triana: less mature, less believable as a character, and more impulsive/petulant with time. Throws herself into danger just to...you know...make the plot move. So kicky! (See everyone else's review for discussion of tortured and wooden romance).

Side kvetch: It's interesting that the historical space figures and scions in the far future are almost all American. I find it distracting to exclusively hear Bezos/Zuckerberg/things named after various known US/USSR astronauts. Like...no other culture bailed out of Earth? And the current billionaires stayed on top? (Musk excepted, likely due to publication date) And there's not intervening Heroes of the Exodus or Hallowed Inventors of Magic Space Tech for which to name things? Hollywood levels (or less) of Asian representation in space? All very distracting to me.
