2022 book 217

 Elizabeth Moon's Marque and Reprisal

This picks up pretty much where the first one left off, only now the mysterious group destroying intergalactic communication devices comes for the protagonist’s entire family, leaving most of them dead in a series of attacks. So now it’s up to her, her famously flighty cousin, and her fruitcake-baking great aunt to figure out who’s after them and why (both the other women are extremely awesome, I hope we see more of the aunt in later volumes). The end chunk of this was kind of confusing and messy (literally in the latter case), lots of battling etc, but I’m intrigued about where things might go next. A-.
