A review by thestarman
In Conquest Born by C.S. Friedman
4.0
A space opera that was better than expected, due to intriguing characters and manueverings (political and personal). I wished there had been more true ACTION, which makes we waffle between a 3.5 and 4 star rating.
VERDICT: 3.67 stars, rounded to 4. Especially considering this is Friedman's first novel, it is darn impressive in many ways.
PROS: Two powerful and determined opposing characters/civilizations, interesting developments, much trickery.
DOWNERS (minor): A bit difficult for me to keep track of all the characters. Not quite enough action.
