Science Fiction/Space Opera
From Goodreads:
The
rollicking sequel to Fortune's Pawn -- an action packed science fiction
novel.
Devi
Morris has a lot of problems. And not the fun, easy-to-shoot kind either.
After a
mysterious attack left her short several memories and one partner, she's
determined to keep her head down, do her job, and get on with her life. But
even though Devi's not actually looking for it -- trouble keeps finding her.
She sees things no one else can, the black stain on her hands is growing, and
she is entangled with the cook she's supposed to hate.
But when a deadly crisis exposes
far more of the truth than she bargained for, Devi discovers there's worse
fates than being shot, and sometimes the only people you can trust are the ones
who want you dead.

One of my complaints about Fortune’s Pawn (click to see my review) was that at the end of the book it just stopped. I have a similar complaint about Honor’s Knight. It just drops you in at the beginning
and stops at the end. It has been
awhile since I read Fortune’s Pawn so I found that I was a very lost for the
first few chapters. I needed a
reminder about some of the back story and it was not there. The same was true of the world
building.
Having said that once I got into
the book the story line did come back.
Honor’s Knight brings back the same characters, secrets, and plot development. There is a lot of action, most of it
involving Devi. There are secrets
that are beginning to come out.
You can’t tell which side the characters are on. They keep changing their mind about
what and who they want to support.
All of that kept me reading.
This is the middle book in a
trilogy and the action is setting everything up for book three. Nothing is resolved and the book ends with
a great deal left up in the air. Honor’s
Knight does move the story forward but leaves the characters in a lot of
trouble. I now have to wait for
book three to see how everything plays out.
Orbit published Honor’s Knight by
Rachel Bach in 2014.
I received an ARC of Honor’s Knight
from Netgalley.
