Interpretation Toward Books Carpe Diem (Liaden Universe #10)
Carpe Diem picks up where Agent of Change left off, continuing the story of Miri Robertson and Val Con yos’Phelium. There’s good action, interspersed with more character development, both of which entertained me.Lee & Miller have created some memorable aliens—I hope at some point to get more info about the Yxtrang, the race that everyone seems to fear & dread. I love The Clutch, the giant sapient turtles who view humanity rather like Tolkien’s Ents—we are hasty, but interesting. Of them, Edger, Val Con’s friend & adopted brother, steals every scene in which he appears!
And of course, we get more insight into Liad itself and Val Can’s family, who form the nucleus of this series. I find myself intrigued by the way that family works on Liad—and how this family is definitely different. Not only have they accepted Terrans into the fold, but they seem to be more genuinely fond of one another that other Liadan families. They also seem to have a predilection for life-mating, making the whole system of contract marriage that prevails on Liad a bit difficult for them.
Actually, I can see this series as an ancestor to the urban fantasy genre that I so enjoy today—it introduces the idea that fantasy and science fiction can contain a romantic story. Plus, the whole life-mate idea seems to be a predecessor of the mate-bond found in works like Mercy Thompson or Sarah J. Maas’s Court of Thorns and Roses series.
Book 256 in my Science Fiction and Fantasy reading project. Looking forward to Plan B to get the next installment of the tale.

Note to self:Originally owned/read in the Partners In Necessity trade paperback omnibus.Thoroughly enjoyed this. Action, intrigue, romance with super powers thrown in, what's not to like.
3.5 but I'm giving four because it's just a really enjoyable read if not incredibly life changing.
great main characters, but weak plot.
The saga is getting interesting!
Events moved along at quite a clip in this book. One star less because, again, a cliff-hanger ending.
3.5 stars. Another good installment of a great space opera series. The Liaden world and its people continue to be fleshed out and are very interesting though, in my opinion, the Clutch steal the show.
