This review is from: Mechwarrior Dark Age 26 A Rending Of Falcons (Mass Market Paperback)
This book started slow but had lots of entertaining action through out. Victor Milan did a good job showing the Crusader Clan way of life and politics. He also made the main character Malvina Hazen even more evil from past Jade Falcon books. I don't care for the Shrike mech that Malvina Hazen pilots (I think it's a horrible Dark Age design compared to the superior Turkina mech). I hope they kill her off next Jade Falcon book in favor of someone more stable. I liked that he included Hells Horses and sharing about there ways. I also like the hint at what's to come in the next books.

I've never really been a fan of the Jade Falcon sub-line of Battletech/Mechwarrior novels, and this book is no different. Once again the book focuses on Malvina Hazen, who by most counts qualifies as a villain (as opposed to an anti-hero), as she works to destroy all life in the Inner Sphere. As she grows stronger, her enemies grow dumber, and so she wins time after time.
The parts of the book I liked the most were when they touched upon other events in the Inner Sphere, especially with House Steiner and the Wolves. But they were few and far between.
