Rated Leviathan Falls 10/10

Almost all of the fiction I read is Sci-Fi. I can't think of the last fiction I've read that wasn't Sci-Fi.<br/><br/>I say that because I know very little of "fine literature" – whatever that is. Establishing that – 🤯.<br/><br/>Just the writing is amazing. Certainly the most poetic fiction I've read in a long time. This is the most poetic writing that I've ever read – without getting bored out of my mind. Quite the contrary. I found myself pausing the book to shake my head. Beautiful.<br/><br/>Such a fitting end to the series. Exciting. Nerve racking. Heart breaking. All the things.<br/><br/>I've been saying "Read the Expanse Series" for years now. I'm not sure how my recommendation could have gotten any stronger – but it has.<br/><br/>

Rated Salvation Lost 10/10

Great ride. Fascinating story. A lot going on. Excited for the third book!

Rated Ready Player Two 4/10

I listened to it with my son, so I have some nostalgia.<br/><br/>Ugh. I wanted to like this book. Felt too much like a forced sequel.<br/><br/>If you REALLY liked the first book, you'll likely...uh...enjoy(?) this one.

Rated Spin 8/10

Super solid book. Not a crazy whirlwind fun ride, but deep and fascinating and amazingly well read.<br/><br/>The sci-fi of it seemed only a character among many.<br/><br/>Very enjoyable. Recommended.

Rated We Are Legion (We Are Bob) 10/10

Right on the edge of 4-5. Because it's kinda dorky. Reminds me a lot of Ready Player One.<br/><br/>But it's super fun. The "situations" – no spoilers – are exciting. <br/><br/>Looking forward to the next one.

Again, this whole series is a fun ride. Fascinating world building. The characters are a crazy mix and fun and silly – and then somber and scary. Super fun!

Rated Hellion 8/10

Again, just solid fun. Fascinating character development. Fun twists. Cool characters. Great action.
