Thanks to Saga Press for the free copy of this book.
- THE SPLINTER IN THE SKY is a standalone sci-fi novel heavy on both political maneuvering and heart.
- This book felt sort of like if you took the linguistics out of A MEMORY CALLED EMPIRE and added the critique of colonization of BABEL.
- Oddly enough, for a standalone novel I felt like it could have been either a bit shorter or expanded into a duology. The main plot takes awhile to kick into gear, and then a ton of action is packed into the second half of the book.
