Title: Wonderful continuation to an outstanding series
Product review: After enjoying City of Pearl,I was looking forward to reading Crossing the Line, and I was not disappointed in the slightest!Having said that, please be aware that this is part of a planned 6-book series, and it would be very desirable to read at least the first two in order for full appreciation. They do NOT, however, end on cliffhangers, which I consider an unforgivable sin.The book's plot is interesting enough, but for me the characters are what make it rise above the norm. Each faces a number of ethical situations in which "crossing the line" in some way or other is an appropriate metaphor. Eddie the journalist must decide where his professional lines should be drawn; Shan must decide where her allegiance and her love belong; and Aras must decide where his destiny lies.Locus compares Traviss to LeGuin, Bujold, and Asaro. Traviss shows some of the strengths of each of these writers, a very delicious blend.Now, for me, on to The World Before!
