Summary: Warning To Readers
Comment: I was very excited when I found out that Diane Duane wrote more of Ael's story. My Enemy, My Ally and The Romulan Way are two of my favorite Star Trek stories.
I was not thrilled that at the end of Honorblade it says To Be Continued. The story is unfinished with no promise by the publisher that there will be another book or when it will come out.
So for all those readers who hate an indefinite cliffhanger (and I am one of those people) wait until the next Rhiannsu book is published before you buy this one. You will save yourself alot of aggravation!

Summary: argh
Comment: I really liked this book. I really wanted to like this book, and I did. It's got lots of great new characters, cameos by people we haven't seen in a while like Sam Cogley and Herb Tanzer, and the tension is slowly but surely ratcheting up. I want to see what happens next.
But.
But I am *outraged* that nowhere on the packaging is it indicated that this story is not finished. It's as if someone took a 600-page novel and simply separated it into several sections of equal length. "Swordhunt" ends in a completely random place, and "Honor Blade" has no sense of closure either. If you are writing an ongoing story, you at least have the responsibility to tell the reader so.
At $6.99 per volume (cover price), that's a lot of money to pay for a story without having the entire thing available. If Pocket decided to publish it in sections because they'd make more money by selling several smaller books than one big one, well, the joke's on them. I'm not buying the next one: I'll wait until it makes it to the library.
I hope to god Ms. Duane didn't have anything to do with this marketing decision because it's cheap, and I think she's a fine writer who knows better than to do this to her audience.

Summary: GREAT BOOK! BUT WHERE'S THE ENDING?????
Comment: If not for the "To be Continued" ending, this book would have been rated 5 stars! I loved this story as well as the other 3 on this same subject. But I can't believe that this was to be continued! Where is the rest of the story now? If I'd known that this last book was a continuation (without the follow up book even in the works yet!), I would never have purchased it!
