I don't agree with the explanation of the evolution of the Ullagi. I would think phylogenetic forces would be a greater influence than availability of prey to the evolving Roons. The sexually dimorphic separation between male and female Ullugi is extreme and disturbing. Also disturbing, for me, are the analogies made between humans and Ullagi. Fist a'Yerg even says as much to Cassy Quinn at one point. Cassy denies the similarity, and I want to agree with her. While humans have been incredibility violent and overly war oriented, there is a difference. Humans have the potential to see the light and stop warring, at least temporarily.
Sharl Buccari is still the main hero of the story. She is surrounded by a cast of thousands of supporting stars. I am glad the body count of the main characters is pretty low. Enough characters we have gotten to know lose their lives to keep the threat and tension high, without turning me off with killing many major characters. Buccari has important roles to play on Earth and on Genellan and her role becomes even more important in this book.
This book is for people who are OK with reading about war. There is a great deal of world building going on. And there are stories about 4 different space faring species. And humans are having children and falling in love. I don't think you can enjoy this story if you don't enjoy space battles. I would tell most people to read the books in order. Each book builds on the characters and stories from each of the books earlier in the series, But this one is very different. This was all about the war in space. I could not put it down when on the last 100 pages. I want the author to make a sequel, please!… (meer)
