This is the second novel in the science fiction series The Vardeshi Saga.

Linguist Avery Alcott has spent three months proving herself to her Vardeshi companions and earning their respect. She arrives at Arkhati, the space station halfway between Earth and Vardesh Prime, eager to continue her adventure. But the next stage of her mission brings its own challenges. In the months to come, new alliances and old friendships will be tested. Avery will question her purpose and her place among the Vardeshi, and she will discover that the most memorable journeys are the ones we can’t predict.

I loved this book

5 stars

This is a great book for me, the characters that we got to know in book one are clear and I already like them, so we go off to a part of the story that is built on comraderie and exploration, on being together, and not losing sight of what is novel and interesting.

The language parts are toned down a bit from the first ones, but it still managed to be a believable and interesting part of the book.

It gets a bit more spicy in this book than the first one, but not really much over the level of ya, could do with a little bit more of that.

I found it hard to put this one down, the characters just spoke to me, the world just feels so believable and lived in, it just really worked for me.
