bluegargantuaHi,
So I went tearing through Pirate Sun by Karl Schroeder. This is the third book set in Virga -- a giant bubble of air floating in space where everyone inside lives in freefall. I reviewed the first two books here and here.
Strictly speaking, this book sits on its own, but in reality, you're going to be a lot happer if you've read the first two books because this book tops out at just over 300 pages and it has absolutely no time to waste. It starts with Chaison Fanning breaking out of prison and pretty much never stops running or fighting from there. There are tons of fights and battle scenes, there's romance and intrigue and the amazing setting keeps leaping out from the background in dazzling descriptions of floating cities and arial floods.
I really liked this book and the series as a whole. The author has stated an intent to continue producing stories in this setting and I'm very excited about that possibility. All three books have produced three very different types of stories and show that the setting has a lot to offer.
