Arbieroo reviewed Shadow Captain by Alastair Reynolds (The second book of Revenger)
Review of 'Shadow Captain' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Reynolds makes the interesting choice to switch view points from Arufura Ness to her sister in this sequel to Revenger, the story of space pirates, space tomb raiders and historical mysteries. It's quintessential Reynolds in many ways - grim characters, deep mysteries, slow start. It's also a better sequel than any I can remember from this author - hopefully Reynolds can stick the landing with the obviously necessary third volume and give a satisfying conclusion.
