A solid 4 this time; Voyager wasn't as strong as the first two novels, I thought. I was super engaged until ships were involved, and then much less so until a surprise character appeared in the narrative. I don't know if it's because I've read these three books immediately after one another, or if it just wasn't as interesting, but I still really enjoyed the book. I might actually take a break before Drums of War, though. Don't wanna burn myself out.
