Platirius: Kikhani vs Platirius by D.L. HannahMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
As promised, Hannah brings the first arc of her saga of sci-fi novellas to its conclusion with a third book that's almost double the length of either of its predecessors. Which is justified, because there's a lot of family drama to wrap up in this one while also setting the stage for at least two upcoming arcs, the Coldarius duology and a new Janius series, which I expect will be another trilogy, but it's still got yet to be formally announced like Coldarius. Where this book shines the most is the tense relationships (such as it were) between the royal sisters and their conflicting views of how life in the galaxy ought to be, as well as the absolutely unhinged villainy of Queen Aiki of Kikhani, who thinks she's flaming hot shit when she really ain't shit as a person, and in terms of beauty, she's about as far from flaming hot as you can get. But also, Gallium's character development here, ahead of the increased focus on him and his homeworld in the upcoming duology...I have to say, he's one of the most interesting characters Hannah has come up with yet, and I can't wait to keep the story going with Coldarius very soon...
