Eyes of the Void

This book should have come with a warning: “Tchaikovsky is highly addictive and may be damaging to your sleep patterns!” Book 1 had left me highly attached the the characters, book 2 then threw these characters into peril - peril written to challenge each character in ways specific to their them...and I loved it.

The downside of the book was twofold - I did not want to put it down - it was one of those books where I was tired, it was late, I was literally struggling to keep my eyes open, but I had to read just one more page to see the character safe or to find out the next revelation...just one more page! Which leads to the other downside. Eventually there were no more pages! I can't criticise Mr Tchaikovsky, he resolved the immediate plot and left it in a satisfying and interesting place, while leaving big questions to be resolved in book 3. This is always a balance - if an author gets it wrong the reader can feel cheated, or just not interested in the next book. Here Mr Tchaikovsky gets it spot on....and yet....

OMG I want to know what happens next!
