The biggest thing to know about this book is that it was written by Sarah Hoyt rather than Larry Correa. I've actually got a fair number of Sarah Hoyt books that I picked up as part of various monthly bundles. I've tried several, but have never really gotten very far into one. They weren't bad, they just didn't hold my interest.

The good news is that this book is apparently a side book and doesn't particularly move the story line along much. Basically it's what happened to Julie during Monster Hunter International : Siege.

It wasn't a terrible book and I did finish it, but like I say, it had a very different feel than the books written by Correa. What was the difference? Well, I would say that it's a matter of talent verses craft. Hoyt does a workman like job, but she just doesn't have the story teller talent that Correa has. I'm reminded of a few side books in the Honor Harrington universe that were written by writers other than David Weber. They weren't bad books, but they had a very different feel to them than the books written by Weber.
