I was disappointed by only one aspect of Beginnings: Worlds of Honor #6, which was that Zahn’s story appears to have been cannibalized and expanded to become the “Manticore Ascendant” series... by which I mean that random text searches turned up pieces of the short story in both of the first two books. It’s a good story; don’t get me wrong - but I was hoping the novels would complement the story rather than reworking and replacing it.

I kind of stopped liking the series during the human-trafficking segment. Does it get better after that, or should I keep stopping at book eight or whatever?
Meanwhile, I finished listening to
The Girl Who Played with Fire, now that my car is back from the dealership...
