Reseñas de la Crítica

"Cherryh combines a flair for hard science with a keen insight into the complex rationales behind human - and nonhuman - actions. Highly recommended for sf collections." ( Library Journal)

Better enjoyed than first

I think I was a bit lost in first book of series so now knowing folks names etc enjoyed this one more.

great second outing!

This is one of my favorite series. Ms. Cherryh sets up the most detail and plot involvement of an author I have read/listened. She provides just the right amount of action to keep the book exciting and leaving you wanting more. Mr. May does a great job narrating, excellent distinct voices for the key characters, well done!

Political intrigue and World building at its best

CJ Cherryh excels at intricate world building and deft plotting. Bring Cameron's interactions with Atevi are interesting; Cherryh's Atevi world is very realistic.

There is a lot of introspective narrative from the point of view of Brin Cameron which can get a bit tedious; also tedious is his constant woe is me attitude and need for love and attention.

Finally, the narrator, although he has a wonderfully flexible voice, seems a bit too mature to be the voice of the 27 yo Brin Cameron.

All in all, a good book and I look forward to reading the next in the series.

AMAZING

this added a lot to the first book can't wait to finish the first series
and yes I still don't know who's who and who's in whoms side

Second book IS BETTER !!! :-)

As i said before the narration was excellent!!!!!
The main thing is it's not a sequel, The bok is continuation of story line.
If you listen the books in sequence you won't even understand , where the first book ends and the second one begins.
And it is getting much more interesting!!!!

twists continue

picking up where the last one ended, the combination of politics and adventure continues with great characters, both old and new

One Human Tries to Live Like the Natives

Humans are in the minority on the world of the Atevi, who are head and shoulders taller than humans. Not only that, sanctioned murder is allowed! Excellent story, read by a master of multiple voices.

Very well preformed

With the large number of characters in this story, it’s delightful to have clear and distinctive voices for each. Listening to this reading is pure pleasure.

Dancing in a frying pan.

Took me out of my comfort zone and put me in a world of sharp new rules. Contrast that, with an unforgiving social backdrop. Kept my attention and wouldn't let it go.

A Great Listen

I’ve read the entire series and now I’m going back and listening. Obviously I love the series and I’m truly grateful for the fine job done by the read and production team.
I highly recommend this audiobook.
