Rated Shadows of Self 8/10
book
Rated Task Force Hammer 8/10
As always, can't wait for the next one.
Rated Desperate Measures 8/10
Gah! Now I have to wait for #6!!!
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 Convergence 8/10
Great premise. Great writing. Very engaging. Fun characters. Already on to the next one!
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 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 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 The Anvil of Dust and Stars 6/10
Listened to it. Pretty fun. Excited to listen to the next one, but sadly no more audio books.
Rated Iron Flame 8/10
Great popcorn book. Fun twists and turns in the plot. The stakes feel very real.
Rated Aftermath 8/10
Fun and exciting and silly as always. The stakes are higher! Excited for the next one!
Rated Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion 8/10
Mr Bloom makes a very compelling case here, although I think many will find it subtle.
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.
