The main antagonist is (at this point) almost a caricature of a Romance novel love interest.The main character is pretty secure in her ability to manipulate men– especially “Daddy Dearest.” She is just a touch too brazen about this for me to like her much: this is a person that objectifies men with absolutely no empathy or remorse.It’s more like, “naked woman here to kick your booty!” It isn’t particularly titillating the way it might be if, say, Piers Anthony were writing it. The first dozen chapters or so, the female protagonist is basically running around naked.It’s also good material for game masters.
That makes this a good choice for reading when you’re short on time. The chapters are short, generally violent, and almost always end on a cliffhanger.These comments cover the first hundred pages or so and have mild spoilers for about the first fifty. I just finished reading part one of Sarah Hoyt‘s Darkship Thieves and wanted to jot down my initial reactions before I picked it back up again.
