Summary: Viehl's best book so far
Comment: Ms Viehl is getting better and better. I have read all her books in order of publication... this latest in the Stardoc universe is by far the best. Jory's training in the Tåna was fascinating, her relationships with the others in her new clan were interesting, as were the fight scenes. There is very little not to like in this book. I hope there is a sequel, I suspect there will be. I would like to see Jory and Kon open their own Blade Dancer school on Joren. I know Jory could show the Jorenians a thing or two!

Summary: Great reading for established fans and a hook for new ones
Comment: I love science fiction as an ideal- I generally hate it in practice. Too often, characters are surface, plots are ridiculously predictable, and the action is campy.
S.L. Viehl is none of these things. A friend intoduced me to the first Stardoc book and I had read them all within a week and a half.
Blade Dancer is beautifully woven - slightly predicatable in some arenas, but not enough to be irritating. The interaction between all the ClanChildren of Honor and especially the tension/attraction between Kol and Jory was wonderful. Jory's anger came out great in all her one-liners. I would have liked to see a little more depth from some of the others, but perhaps that will come with a sequel. The action sequences were well done.
Rating: 3
Summary: fun
Comment: I stayed up way too late last night reading it. Very exciting -- and the fight scenes were really well done. I have no experience with fighting, but I could see the scenes. I really liked the character of Jory.
However, I didn't like some things. My feelings for Kol - her partner...well I didn't have any. Parts of the book felt like a text adventure game. Also, I had to fight the urge to say "Luke, I am your father".
It was a fun romp. I hadn't read anything by Viehl before. I won't run right out and get another, but when I'm looking for another quick book to read, I'll try another.
