Before I proceed to the review a quick note.\u00a0 It\u2019s been over a year since the last review in this series.\u00a0 The explanation is a puzzling fact.\u00a0 I buy the paperback version of books and for some reason Legacies never came out in paperback.\u00a0 I\u2019ve checked and the subsequent books in the series are now available in paperback but Legacies never was.\u00a0 So recently I gave up and bought the hardcover version.\u00a0 What can I say, I\u2019m a creature of habit.\u00a0 Anyway, welcome back.<\/p>\n
Legacies rejoins the story with Aeson Ford, aka Aeson Keel, aka Wraith and now aka Tyrus Rechs in search of Prisma, the young woman who has found herself embedded in the conflict between a confusing array of sides.\u00a0 From the previous volumes in the series, she has seen Goth Sullus destroy her family in his quest to convert the Galactic Republic into a personal weapon against lurking threats and she has been swept along by Tyrus Rechs and Aeson Keel and discovered that she has mysterious powers that somehow make her important in the conflicts still to come.<\/p>\n
In this book we will follow separate stories involving Prisma and Keel as they struggle to survive in a galaxy filled with confusing threats.\u00a0 Prisma is aboard a war machine left over from the Savage Wars, a device that replays historic battles to evaluate alternate strategies to some mysterious end.\u00a0 Keel goes under cover as Tyrus Rechs to find out who has put a price on his head and why.\u00a0 And these two seemingly unrelated threads are slowly woven into one fabric.\u00a0 Truths are revealed about Aeson Ford\u2019s father and Tyrus Rechs and Goth Sullus that go back to the beginning of the Savage Wars and maybe beyond.<\/p>\n
The book shifts back and forth between the two main narratives and then adds another plot line from the past.\u00a0 This leads to some whiplash for the reader from time to time but the writing is quite well done and it kept my interest throughout.\u00a0 Anspach and Cole have a very complex world-building project going on in this series.\u00a0 In this volume, they provide origin information on the Cybar, Aeson Ford and links with the Savage Wars plot lines that expand a great deal on what I knew about the story previously.\u00a0 And any hope of finishing this series in less than a million volumes has flown out the window.\u00a0 But I\u2019m happily resigned to my fate.<\/p>\n
Highly recommended for all fans of the series.\u00a0 Year two of the series is barreling along on hyperdrive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
