A casual conversation takes hours between responses. Other than that the novel was OK. Grade it a C- [2 stars]. I won't read the others in the series.
Next, by way of a GR friend recommendation, Instruments of Darkness by Imogen Robertson. Her debut novel a historical mystery taking place in 1780 Sussex.

Dauntless sounds painfully boring, haha. I read This Alien Shore by C.S. Friedman most of the way through. It was interesting, but at the same time it kind of felt like nothing happened. I think it was a set up book for the rest of the series, but it's one I'm not going to read.
