This is a book I never would have picked up on my own, because I'm a science fiction nut and it's a romance--and while I certainly can read well-written romances, I almost always have something waiting that I'm more interested in. But a friend pointed it out to me, and I read the description and went, "Interstellar empire? Bounty hunters? Nanotechnology? You can't fool me, this is space opera!"
And it is. And it is awesome.

I am 95% sure that this is a White Collar fanfiction with the serial numbers filed off. If you want to write fanfiction, that's fine, but could my original fiction please be original?
This book suffered from a huge telling-not-showing problem, both in characterization and description. The narrative told me how the characters were feeling, but didn't really show me their thoughts. The POV wasn't close enough to really get in their heads. The problem was even worse with descriptions of places. Don'...more

I didn't read the first book in this series. And, I fully admit I bought it for the cover and the blurb.
This far future SFR is mostly a leisurely character study of the relationship between two bounty hunters and the very-longterm prey they both think they have fallen in love with.
The short review? If you like a sweet leisurely character development story then you'll probably like this. If you want action and lots of SF then this isn't the best fit.

Really enjoyed this--much the same thoughts as the other Ylendrian book, The Balance of Silence, but this one was a full novel and mostly proved my criticisms of the previous one's length. The authors did a great job with the hard sci-fi and heist genres, and a fantastic job with the poly relationship. Definitely authors to keep an eye on--I hope they do more books in this 'verse.
Very compelling, entertaining, space opera/caper/romance. Great characters with a lot of depth and very original universe that I can't wait to experience more of. Awesome first novel by some very talented writers!
I really liked this. The relationship worked well (I understate, it was simply amazing and balanced and honest), the characters were well-built, and the science was there, but it didn't get in the way.
I really enjoyed this book. Great concept. I loved the Kellen and his irreverent humor and his underlining honor. Tal and Van how could you resist. This was a fantastic space romp.
A very fast and fun read that is sexy, funny and enough butt-kickery to keep even my attention. Great second book for my friend Reesa. I can't wait to read the follow up. Get to writing.

S. Reesa Herberth grew up in Hawaii, and after a few misguided years spent in the Arizona desert, knew that she wanted to live in a place where water occasionally fell from the sky and they had those tall things with leaves. She has called the area around Washington, D.C., her home for the past ten years. When she isn't dreaming up ways to get back to Paris, she spends more time than is probably h...more
