Get these names sorted out in your head, if only so you know who to cheer on and who to jeer at in the final fight scene. Arniz’s warm fuzzies are simply part of the build-up. Don’t worry though, you’ll get plenty of action. With the questions and truths Arniz poses to him.Īrniz is an amazing woman. He’s so young and so full of righteousness, parroting what he’s been told, and yet he finds it difficult to face what his crew are doing to the scientists. Part of that empathy shows through in the side theme between Arniz and Trembley of the importance of life. The first seventy-odd pages sets us up for the real story: the hostage-taking on Threxie where Huff will rev up your anger and then drown you in compassion. I did sympathize with Marteau’s annoyance with the Elder Races not trusting in personal responsibility. For hate is also subverting the law as small guns that can be concealed on the body are beginning to appear. Sub-themes revolve around weapons and war, and it’s interesting that for as warlike as Torin is, she also hates that tiny gun that can be hidden on one’s person. The theme is hate, for a group of Humans are feeling left out, hating that they have to share with so many other species. Just reinforces that we’re all the same with the same feelings, hopes, and dreams as any other person. But their thoughts and feelings, ambitions, hopes, and fears are just like ours. No, no, I’m not being patronizing or trying to lump them all into one category. The different cultures, style of speech, and appearances were amazing, and yet they were all so Human. I keep thinking back to that bar scene in Star Wars with its hive of villainy, etc. And I loved the detail Huff put into the various species, although it was difficult to keep track of who/what they all looked like. ![]() The third-person subjective point-of-view did humanize it. They were so incredibly clueless and didn’t care that their intelligence was faulty. Okay, not taking the hostages, but their reason for doing it. That and the whole hostage thing was stupid. This is not my favorite in the series, as Huff was so incredibly confusing on so many pages. ![]() Second in the follow-on series, Peacekeeper (seventh overall in Confederation) and revolving around Marine ex-Gunnery Sergeant Torin Kerr. A Peace Divided by Tanya HuffĪlso by this author: An Ancient Peace, The Privilege of Peace ![]() This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review.
