Doesn't answer all the questions brought up in the series.

Miriam is a strong woman.
Black is a strong man.
The chemistry is great between these two.
I didn't really like the story. I enjoyed the parts that told me more about the seer stuff but the whole guardian thing wasn't good.  It didn't make sense if this guy was human that they couldn't read him.  No explanation was given for this.
There are several questions left without answers.  I think this is the last book in this series so we are just left hanging?  Had I known that before I read the first book, I wouldn't have started reading this series.

While this book is entertaining and interesting, it felt like a decent step down from the previous entries in the series. There just isn't a whole lot that happens here and when the book ends it feels like it never truly got any momentum going underneath it. Unlike the other books, there aren't a ton of interesting characters here either. Some of your favorites, of course, return and contribute to the story but many others are unfortunately absent and it really takes away from the story as a whole. Uhtred is as strong and compelling as ever but he alone cant make the book stand up. On the whole, this feels like more of a stepping stone than anything else. Not really a story by itself, more like an interlude. But its enough to keep my interest in the series and I guess thats enough and to be fair, the previous books in the series were fantastic and are a difficult measure to live up to.

It was the 3rd of the series. I think it is the last. It left me with unanswered questions and I was a little disappointed with the ending. It does not say what happened to Charlie. It never mentions the baby that Mari and Callum were supposed to have had. This is by far not the worst book I ever read. So I would not say that I do not recommend the book. My opinion is not a significant one...except to me.

It's a great series but kind of leaves you hanging. What about the Marines? It does need one more book to wrap up taking back the home world.

I love the series, but it slowed way down in book 4. It appears that there is another episode because of the way she left it with Cory still in the hinterlands. This episode is not the best one and I was a bit disappointed with the flow and content.

This series has spent a lot of time setting a stage that never seems to truly do more than limp along. In this second book we once again get quite a bit of information about a system and people with quite a bit of time spent creating and recreating the idea of what are becoming routine actions between people. Especially given how little action has occurred it makes the book at certain points feel very very slow. I also am getting a little frustrated that we seem to get so much information about what I would call minutia yet we still haven't been given much information about a lot of things. One of the biggest is we really don't know much about the Xenos. I had assumed they were human until the book talked a little about them. We still don't know how large their territory. We have been told that the Federation was so large and yet all their main planets form the hundreds of species were destroyed supposedly. Did that mean the Xeno's had as large of a population? It just feels as if so much information is not really given to us but just taken as a given.

I also can't get over how much of the book is spent on boot-strap efforts and that it is so similar to what happened in book 1, I would think some of it could be skipped over and just given to us readers as a fait accompli. I also am surprised that after 700 years no geniuses had helped certain small systems to get back to at least a 20th century level of technology.

I will pick up the next book but I think the author could be helped if he tried to pick up the pace and glossed over some of the classes and certain scenes we already are aware the common citizen is ignorant and want to learn for the most part.

I'd give all the rest of her books 5 stars, I love them, and while this one is good, its not as great as it could have been. The overall story in the series didn't advance much, her love life became even more complicated, and the entire book seemed to revolve around the evidence pointing at her becoming a wereleopard, though as was said earlier in the series, she seems to be immune to actually having that happen. Its still a good read, I love all the lycanthrope info, but I missed the normal mystery to solve that just didn't seem to be present in this book.

I am enjoying this series, more than I really expected, actually.  However, I don't feel this third book measured up to the first two.  It was much more sensational and yet didn't seem to have as much of a storyline as the others did.  It felt like a "filler" book, to take you from book 2 to a book 4, without as much substance as the previous books.

They need to spend more time on the series book was good for those who do not know .. A recap for those who do.

I really enjoy the Resistance series and the game play was great.

That said, I was hoping for some answers that by the time I was done, I had more questions, yet no answers.

I enjoyed this book enough to want to finish the series. Because it is a series there are a lot of unanswered secrets that have led characters to where/who they are. It certainly makes readers want to put the time into reading on to discover what they are, but it was also slightly disconcerting because it made me feel like I couldn't completely connect to a couple of the characters because it was like a chunk was missing.
Could use editing.

This book is not my favorite of the series due to so much going on that I felt that I was left hanging at the end of the book.  Simply put its only half of the story, a great deal of my favorite characters are vaguely mentioned in this book.  Hence why I labeled the review accordingly.  Am I going to read the next book why of course because I have to know what happens next.

It wasn't the first book of the series, but it was the first I read. While that shouldn't make a difference, it did. It was well written, but I was confused much of the time about the characters and their back stories, which someone that read the first two books might not have been.

I liked it. But, maybe it just moved the story along a little. It didn't answer enough questions about their world, but certainly left it open for many adventures ahead. I will read the next book in the series when it arrives.

It was a good read, but not nearly as good as the four books in the original series. This one doesn't focus on the main characters but instead on their ancestors. A good back story, though.

I think this book needs to be expanded. Half of the issues weren't resolved and they don't come up in the rest of the series.

Pretty good but covered a little too much ground so not as much detail as in most of the books of the series. Enjoyable.
