The Dread Empire of the Shaa is no more, following the death of the last oppressor. But freedom remains elusive for the myriad sentient races enslaved for ten centuries, as an even greater terror arises. The Naxids—a powerful insectoid species themselves subjugated until the recent Shaa demise—plan to fill the vacuum with their own bloody domination, and have already won a shattering victory with superior force and unimaginable cruelty. But two heroes survived the carnage at Magaria: Lord Gareth Martinez and the fiery, mysterious gun pilot Lady Caroline Sula, whose courageous exploits are becoming legend in the new history of galactic civil war. Yet their cunning, skill, and bravery may be no match for the overwhelming enemy descending upon the loyalist stronghold of Zanshaa, as the horrific battle looms that will determine the structure of the universe—and who shall live to inhabit it—for millennia to come.

Sundering (Dread Empire's Fall Series #2)
This book feels like a military space opera grafted on to a Regency Romance/Jane Austen style story.
A beautiful misunderstood woman! A brilliant but socially inept man! He is noble, but not the right kind of noble so he is an outsider! She is the right kind of noble, but her family is in ruins! They fall in love! Oh, but the woman messes it up! Wait the man takes her back! They ravage each other! it's perfect! Oh no the woman messes it up again, silly woman! He hates her! She hates him! No! She will throw herself on his mercies! OH NO HE AGREED TO MARRY SOMEONE ELSE IN THE SINGLE DAY THE WERE APART! WOE! And now everyone is getting married! But all the marriages are shams! She'll show him, she doesn't need a man! BUT SHE THINKS ABOUT HIM ALL THE TIME AND HATES HIM!
Also, the phase "seeing her was like being hit in the groin by a velvet hammer".
Please stop. just... stop... I ended up finishing this book by skimming large sections of it to focus on the military sci fi part, but even there it's frustrating. The main characters are SUPER BRILLIANT! Oh, but the leaders are traditionalists and stuck in their ways and won't listen! Even if the main character WON ALL THE FIGHTS! Damn his uppity provincial accent!
I kind of /want/ the damn empire to crash and burn if these idiots are the ones in charge...
i give this a 2, but it's more like a 1.5... the sci fi bits have some interesting ideas at least, but god the rest of the story... I don't understand the praise i saw for this book (and the series as a whole)
