In Through Alien Eyes, Juna, along with some of the Tendu, goes back to the human fleet. It could've been a nuanced story of returning home to find that you've changed too much to see it the same way, or a complicated story of negotiating agreement between two societies that are both flawed and both worthy. But what I read was a black-and-white, "Juna and the Tendu are good good good and the Survey is evil evil evil", boring book. (With a bonus "Juna finds a romantic partner who seems like a three-dimensional character but turns into cardboard absent father once Juna gets pregnant" side plot that I bounced hard off of.)
