4.0 out of 5 stars Really liked it. I'm becoming a fan, May 7 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Trade Pact Universe #2 Ties Of Power (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved this story. It's a little overly romantic, but the characters are a lot of fun. Very space opera, with twists and turns throughout.

I found it hard to put down. Stayed up too late. Love the Drapsk.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Really, Oct 1 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Trade Pact Universe #2 Ties Of Power (Mass Market Paperback)
A bit too 'cutesy' and the plotline seemed too obviously manipulated around the author's desired direction of the romance. I found it hard to sympathise with any of the characters as they were rather 2-dimensional and had no real depth or personality at all. I found myself getting a bit annoyed with the 'little quirks' that were introduced. A few mysteries and revelations kept things going however - I wouldn't have minded a bit more focus on that. I got book 3 at the same time as this one, but I don't think I can be bothered to read it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Gag me!, Jun 26 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Trade Pact Universe #2 Ties Of Power (Mass Market Paperback)
I was hoping for an explaination for the quasi-enjoyable Thousand Words, and this book did not offer anything. It was so poorly written (confusing, too hard to follow the randomness) that I could not even bring myself to finish it, especially after the hockey game. . .

The characters have no qualities that make you want to have any compassion at all for them. Sira was weak and not a very likable person. Her fellow Clan members were deplorable as well. I easily tossed this book aside and have not had any regrets.

While the author has some good ideas that may be worth working with, this book and Thousand Words were just too drab and drawn out.
