Rated Shadows of Self 8/10
book
Rated Livesuit 8/10
So glad these guys are back writing. A darker world, but the world building is amazing.
Rated First Strike 8/10
Keeps being fun and exciting and interesting.<br/><br/>Craig REALLY found a fun angle on mythology and religion here. Very cool, modern take on the fantasy genre.
Rated Dragonslayer 8/10
Cranking along. Still having fun. Great popcorn books. Funny. Clever.
Rated Freedom™ 8/10
Hmm. Very fun. A great continuation of Daemon.<br/><br/>The wow factor of the first book was lost here, which isn't surprising.<br/>This book was also a lot more preachy.<br/><br/>Mr. Suarez clearly had more of an agenda in this title – or it was more pronounced.<br/><br/>To be clear, I support his agenda – for the most part. Some very eye-opening ideas.<br/><br/>And the book was enjoyable, exciting, "page turning" – if you can say that as a listener of the audio version.<br/><br/>Recommended.
Rated Convergence 8/10
Great premise. Great writing. Very engaging. Fun characters. Already on to the next one!
Rated Desperate Measures 8/10
Gah! Now I have to wait for #6!!!
Rated Dungeon Crawler Carl 6/10
Ugh. I got a recommendation from one of the smartest people I know.<br/><br/>I guess smart != good taste.<br/><br/>Or at least not my taste.<br/><br/>It's ridiculous. At times funny. Often disgusting.<br/><br/>Not my bag. I liked the first few books in the Awaken Online series more, if you're looking for LitRPG.
Rated Caliban’s War 10/10
I'm almost finished w/ #3 and forgot to flag #2 as done.<br/><br/>Probably the best SciFi ride I've ever been on.
Rated Onyx Storm 8/10
Exciting. Scary. The on-again-off-again romance bits are starting to feel a bit played out.<br/><br/>Excited to reach the next one, though!
Rated Gateway 8/10
Fun, as usual. I'm starting to get a bit...I don't know...about this series.<br/><br/>The stakes keep getting higher...kinda.<br/><br/>The dialog and the shenanigans with Skippy are funny, but I feel like things are getting drawn out...because people keep buying the books.<br/><br/>Still excited to read the next one, though.
Rated Service Model 8/10
Fascinating. Not super fun. At times silly.<br/>Clearly a cautionary tale.<br/>Certainly fascinating. Very well written.<br/><br/>Still...pondering what I think about it...
Rated The Mercy of Gods 10/10
Not as "fun" as the Expanse series. MUCH more serious. Much more grim.<br/><br/>But the writing is poetic. The story is FASCINATING. Can't wait for the next one!
Rated Eyes of the Void 6/10
I really really really wanted to like this book, but it just couldn't hold my attention.<br/><br/>Not sure if it's the narrator or what.<br/><br/>I listened to it. Pretty sure I followed most of the plot, but my mind would just wonder.<br/><br/>I'm generally a HUGE Tchaikovsky fan. *shrug*
