Summary

Non-stop action, space battles and intrigue abound in the second in a galactic-scale, gender-swapped space opera trilogy inspired by the life of Alexander the Great.

The Republic of Chaonia, under the joint command of Princess Sun and her formidable mother, Queen-Marshal Eirene, has defeated and driven out an invading fleet of the Phene Empire, although not without heavy losses. But the Empire remains strong and undeterred. While Chaonia scrambles to rebuild its military, the Empire's rulers are determined to squash Chaonia once and for all–by any means necessary.

On the eve of Eirene's bold attack on the rich and populous Karnos System, an unexpected tragedy strikes the republic. Sun must take charge or lose the throne. Will Sun be content with the pragmatic path laid out by her mother for Chaonia's future? Or will she forge her own legend despite all the forces arrayed against her?

Great next step

Picks up where Unconquerable Sun left off - more and bigger and even more epic. All the characters from the first book get to grow and explore, facing more challenges and embarking on more adventures.

If you enjoyed the first book this takes it further, if you haven't read it, start there. A really great series. Big, epic, fun space opera.

Too long..

Much as I love space opera this was a bit of a slog at times and it was a relief to finally finish the bloody thing.

The Republic is only a Republic by name and is just a less evil version of the Empire, I really wanted them to both lose. The killing off of the only credible threat to Princess Sun’s plans felt like if George Lucas had killed off Darth Vader in the first 20 minutes of Star Wars.

Anyway the supporting characters are good and I will be reading book 3 just to see how it ends.
