Still she writes nicely, composes beautiful worlds and scenes, but the story! Where's her famed jaw gaping story?

Resume so far: "King's kid is stubborn, king's kid gets kidnapped by king's ennemies, king's kid gets rescued..." That's it?

Okay I'll finish reading it, then I might figure out where I got lost, but it sure isn't promising. Then I'll move to Chanur.
I have now finished the book and have to add:
"King's kid escaped by himself to be rescued afterwards." And that was it...

I think she'll have lost a lot of fans on this sequel. When she writes the tenth of the series, I will not be in line waiting for it the way I have waited for this one.
