Review of 'Until relieved' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

As the only other material of Shelley's I've read is the Dirigent Mercenary Corps series, the first thing to leap at me in this one was the shifting viewpoint. We follow wasps in the air, infantry on the ground, Havoc's (self-propelled artillery),and occasionally views from the C&C tent on the ground. the DMC books progressed us through the ranks with one focal character (we saw Lon through Officer Cadet to Colonel).

Until the latter part of the book it took me a while to get into the spirit of the shifting viewpoint. I enjoyed the military stuff per usual, but sadly the interlude by the enemy commander and the extremely rushed ending means that I doubt the other books of this series will interest me as rapidly as they might have.
