The story continues, and this is the problem, it would have been better to have only released the omnibus edition which contains all three books. Some serials, note I have not called it a series, can be read as single novels or in any sequence but this serial does not work read like that. Without giving away too much of the plot it continues from the previous book without prologue or introduction and continues the adventures of Reza as he returns to the human realm most of the book explores Reza's relationships and his joining the marines. Again a well written book which is interspersed with action there is a background of conspiracy at high levels of government. The author does not play for time by adding extra detail when he want to he just moves forward e.g "six years later". Apart from the beginning and towards the end of this book the Kreelans do not feature much in this book. As with the previous book it ends on a cliff hanger.

In Her Name: Confederation has more of a science fiction feel than the first in the series. It is similar to the first book in that we follow Reza Gard over a period of years. I'm not sure if I'm more into the story, or if it's because Hicks gained confidence as he went on, but the writing seemed more in the scene in the second book. Probably a combination of both confidence and my enjoyment.
Gard appears in the story shortly after it begins and immediately takes control of the show. After spending years with the Kreelans, his personality, his spirit, and even his physiology is changed. We are shown new tricks that Gard learned as a Desh-Ka Priest. Hicks does a great job of releasing these tidbits throughout, all the way until the end.
Although it is the second in a series, I love that In Her Name: Confederation has a great build up and climax. In another series I'm reading, it feels like each book is only meant as a precursor to the next. I don't get that with Hicks at all. Each of the first two books can stand on its own.
There were two things keeping In Her Name: Confederation from a five, but I'm a bit of a stickler so I'm not surprised.
The second book didn't seem as clean to me as In Her Name: Empire, or Season of the Harvest, a thriller also written by Hicks. It wasn't bad, the grammar was fine, but there were areas throughout that could have been crisper.
The second reason is that I'm not 100% sold on how much I love the characters. Like them yes, love, not yet. This tells you how much I love the plot and every other element in the series since I'm still at four out of five stars. There is no doubt however, that as the story progresses I will only enjoy it even more. Part of my enjoying a specific author is becoming used to their writing style.
In Her Name: Confederation is a great second book in the series and anybody looking for a science fiction or fantasy series would do well to get this one on their bookshelf.

While, in my opinion, not as strong as 'Empire' this is still a fantastic read which continues the was with the Kreelans.
I felt that this book suffered from having not as much story based on the Kreelans and focusing on the confederation.
Saying that, this is still an excellent read and I highly recommend this book.
