All is in turmoil as the world moves towards war. In Solarno, spies eye one another and ready their knives while the people of Myna watch troops gather at its borders. Emotions run high as old fears reawaken. And in Collegium students argue politics, too late to turn the tide. At the heart of the Empire, new pilots complete their secretive training, generals are recalled to service and armies are readied to march. For nothing-either within the Empire or beyond it-will stand in her way.

Review of 'The Air War' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I enjoyed this somewhat less than the previous two, primarily because it seemed to me to be just one long battle description. I liked Taki when we met her in Solarno the first time, but here her sections tended to be same-same-y air battles. Yes, the title is rather a tip of, but even so. Didn't she do anything else? Ever? Same with Stenwold. He's not really 'on camera' too much and when he is he seems to have mainly become rather bland and characterless. Perhaps a way of showing the psychological effects of the constant Wasp threat and all the losses and what not, but I have to say it made me like him rather less. Rather a lot less, actually.
