Fabulous and friendly.

Destroyer by C.J. Cherryh

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Once again, Cherryh has proven herself master of political intrigue and tight, suspenseful plotting.  This is one of the best.  This story also includes some deep emotional scenes -- between Bren and his old love, Barb who is now with his brother Toby; between Bren and Jago as he assures her his future and his heart lies with her, although, of course, he doesn't say 'heart' as that is meaningless to atevi.  There's also a touching scene between Cajieri, the aiiji's heir, and his new adolescent friends (not, of course, called 'friends'.)

All in all, another more than satisfying chapter in the atevi saga.
