I recently bought these three (this one is the second of a trilogy) books to replace my orginal, falling-apart paperbacks. I can't even count how many times I have read them. Try them, you won't be disappointed if you like a complex, well-realized universe, interesting characters, and politics. Of the three books, this is my favorite. I can't think of any other trilogy I've read where I liked the middle book best. Mind you it's only my favorite by a little; I love all three books. Me, if I can ever get them to put out a Kindle editon, I'm buying that, too.

I have owned several sets of this trilogy over the past 30 years. I keep loaning them out and they never return! I've talked people into buying the first book and they ALWAYS come back and buy the other two.

Shadow of the Swan continues the story with the same intensity and depth as the first. Trilogys often feel like a single book stretched with fluff and filler. This one avoids that and builds your interest and desire to discover what happens next in the lives of these people.

I wish Wren would write more in this genre.

This is a great read!

I read this series on the recommendation of a friend of my mother, and she was right about how terrific the series is. It is extremely well-written and the mix of "history" with the ongoing action of the novels is fascinating. M.K. Wren creates an entire world and makes it completely real for the reader. The characters really come alive in the series, and you really can understand their emotions, and you care about what happens to them. Now that the books have been reprinted, it is easier to find copies, and it's worth the price. I have read a lot of sci fi trilogies over the years, and this is one of the best trilogies I have ever read. Even my husband, who generally does ot read sci fi, read this series and enjoyed it. I highly recommend it.
