I really enjoyed this book. It was easy to get into and I read it all in one day because I wanted to see what happened. It does help quite a bit to have read the other books in the series because there are a lot of references to things that happened in them.

Really liked this one. It did help that I had read the one before this but even so it kept me going.

Having read the first 3 books in this series, I started this one, the 4th, and got a little ways into it, and the story just didn't interest me anymore. I felt like this was going to be just like the first 3 - Torin Kerr, who can do no wrong, is on a mission with unknown/green fellow Marines, something major happens due to incompetence of commanding officers, she has to assume command and get said unknown/green Marines out of trouble and save the Confederation. Again. I would like to see some books in this world from the perspective of one of the alien races, and without Ms. Kerr.

Wow, this one took a weird turn to the left. I'm not so sure I like it. I feel it is not as good as the first three in the series.

I have read all four of Tanya Huff's Torin Kerr novels and enjoyed each one. The character is a strong woman, who first as a Staff Sargent and later a Gunnery Sargent is tasked with leading a mixed company of humans and extra-terrestrials. This she does with firmness, humanity and humor. I found myself laughing out loud at her sarcastic comments; something I don't usually do. The author has deftly woven high adventure with physical descriptions and proclivities of creatures from other worlds. In Valor's Trial, Torin is faced with a seemingly impossible task. She manages to save the day, only after much struggling, both physical and emotional. My only disappointment is in the ending. I'll say no more!
