The Assassin's Salvation by Ruby LionsdrakeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
So the Mandrake Company series is my latest binge read (I'm already on book 5 by the time I'm writing this) and I'm loving it.
I like that this book has gone back to focus on one of the original characters from Mercenary Instinct (book 1). Jamie Flipkens is the engineer/pilot for Ankari's medical company. So far in the series we have only got to see her as the young and inexperienced one of the group, so it was nice that we hot to know her character better and see her develop in this installment of the series. We were also introduced to a new character as the hero and Jamie's love interest. Sergei, assassin and former crew member of the Mandrake Company. I like that his character is very different and more resigned and discreet than the personalities of the other mercenary characters. I like that he doesn't fit in the stereotypical mold of the assassin role, and that the reality is different form he initial expectation.
I love that this series has a really diverse range of different types of characters; this coupled with the great writing style and story lines really makes for a very dynamic and gripping series. You get completely drawn into the books and really care for the characters. Once you pick this up you will not want to put it down. This was another fantastic action packed sci-fi adventure, with a touch of humour thrown in.
I highly recommend this series.
