But this new start isn't all that she expected. Her relationships with her friends have changed since she's been away, her classes are harder than she expected, and things aren't quite what they seem. Jiden learns that she made enemies when she chose to return to the Academy, and those enemies will settle for nothing less than her death.

Valor's Calling: A Young Adult Military Space Opera Novel (Children of Valor Book 2) Reviews
-
This really feels like the junior edition of
Starship Troopers by
Robert A. Heinlein. -
Exciting
A little bit of a rehash of the first book, the main protagonist seems a bit clueless about military life but through a good bit of luck and determination, survives even life threatening situations. -
I'm kind of skeptical when I read young adult science fiction. Some is great and some tends to have an unnaturally immature feel to it. Perhaps the target audience is the big difference. This series falls into the former for me. I like the way the characters are written despite the main character having the odd "I'm just a kid" moment and then complaining about being treated like a child the next moment. Given that the characters are around 17 to 20 earth years old I think they'd be more likely to identify as an adult.
I really enjoy the training and schooling aspects of the story. Of course the action and mystery is a draw and I particularly like the family politics. Definitely an entertaining read and I look forward to reading the next one. -
To me this series have so much promise. However instead of building on this character the author have seem to regress a bit. To me the character just seem so wishy washy and clueless. I skimmed through much of this book as the plot just seem to plod along slowly and boringly. Would I recommend this? I don’t know, what I find boring someone may find entertaining. I’ll just say read it for yourself and find out because I am still kind of on the fence about this book.
