Ninefox Gambit

3.5 stars. Ninefox Gambit is very well written, but I found it hard to get into. I tried it as an audiobook but that didn't work due to the plethora of odd names and terms. I had to switch to the ebook and finally it rewarded persistence.
This book is hard to categorize. I finally came to think of it as fantasy with a space opera veneer. Character driven, it is a fascinating but hard read. Lee makes nothing easy for you. Read with close attention.
