The great thing about this series is the characters. They are so likable. I really see this series as one big story instead of many little stories. ”

Things get serious for Miles in a new way -- he begins to evaluate himself as a human being, not as a superachiever. Although there are plenty of external problems, it's the internal challenge that brings depth to the book.”

Yes | No“My absolute favorite Miles book, and one of my favorite books ever, but DO NOT start the series with this book. This is a major transition book f or Miles and others and you need to know the characters first. Two recommended starting points would be either Shards of Honor (about Miles' parents) or the Vor Game, which gets you acquainted with the key characters and themes.”
