Crystal Dragon – Chapter 21

Vanehald

In which it’s not always true that old soldiers just fade away.

I said in the comments for last chapter that the emotional parts of these novels are just as important to why I love this series as the plot mechanics, but I’m not good at talking about them. This is a true thing.

So it should not be taken as any slighting of the emotional parts of this chapter that the only thing I have to say is to note that we’ve now been told Fern is female (but still no description of what she looks like or what her voice sounds like, apart from the self-evident fact that she moves like a pilot).

Crystal Soldier – Chapter 22

Spiral Dance
The Little Empty

In which Jela gives Cantra a lesson in gunnery.

And Cantra learns that Jela is capable of unnerving her, though she’s careful not to let him know it.

There are some nasty surprises lurking in Dancer‘s armory, and in the accompanying documentation. Garen and Cantra doubtless have had their share of enemies, but it must be one out of the ordinary who could do something like this, and who would if they could.
