About this listen
"Devils to me," a siren call that would bring every Tasmanian running to answer no matter what they were doing.
Repeated over and over by those answering the call, it would empty bars or a base or a city of Tasmanians, because no member of the elite unit would desert a brother in trouble, reinforcing their unofficial motto, Et Anima Una, Of One Mind.
Jolie is the only female in the elite all male Tasmanian special forces group and loving every crazy minute of it; well, except for being made a squad leader. A duty no Tasmanian would want since it means having to make life and death decisions that impact their brothers' lives.
But Jolie's true father's emphasis on Ready, in Ready, Aim, Fire, has proved beneficial on each of her previous assignments, earning her the call sign Fox and giving her a unique latitude on her assignments - a squad leader with no orders or direction. Because, while Jolie can be unpredictable, she never disappoints and always has her squad in the thick of the action.
As one Tasmanian commander commented, "that exemplifies Et Anima Una like nothing else could. Jolie walks off to only the space gods know with no orders or direction, and we think it's normal."

Loved this book.

The main character is still the same, a Mary Sue who for some reason is compelling to read about. Her end of mission stories are cripplingly cringeworthy though so I skipped those even though they were only 2-3 mins. All the other characters think she's an incredibly funny super-genius and she plays up to the girl aspect a lot more in this book. A special forces soldier jumping in the air to make cheerleader poses for the amusement of all her male colleagues was a bit weird for example.
The plot is still episodic but it works here with each mission. Some of the stuff about the military officers hurling insults would normally result in discipline of some sort rather than be completely ignored. I also felt that having the Tazmanian leadership structure explained in each episode was repetitive.
The narration was a bit slow. I reckon you need to speed it up to at least 1.1x.
Overall though I really enjoyed this as mindless fun and have already added the next book to my wish list.
Great but not quite as good as the first
