The Emperor's Blades by Brian Staveley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Good beginning to a new series. Interesting world building, complex characters and a plot that moves along, even if you're not sure just where it is going at first.

Review: The Lesson

The Lesson by Cadwell Turnbull
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The story of an alien 'invasion' of only the Virgin Islands.

Interesting concept, but awfully slow plot and I'm still not sure what the lesson was supposed to be.
