This one was again nice. Not earth shattering, but regular problems of settling at a new location and dealing with emotions. I could have done without the vignettes in the end. They were just too short too be really interesting. ( )

Another different aspect - now they're out on their own, running their own practice. Which comes with complications - from whether they'll be allowed to stay (having proven themselves useful) to Vasiht'h discovering he has hangups about money, to others interacting with them in some odd ways. A mentorship, sort of, and an enemy, kind of. Of course everything comes right for them, eventually, but they (particularly Vasiht'h) discover a lot about themselves. This one is pretty much Vasiht'h's story, much less from Jahir's viewpoint. And the little bits at the end - extracts from their casebooks - are fascinating. I particularly liked the Fleet captain - actually, all the Fleet cases are neat. There's a fourth book, coming out (I hope) soon - can't wait! ( )
