Captain Specificity

While I cannot speak to the accuracy of the emotions portrayed by the soldiers in this book, I do think they encapsulate a stirring story. Humanity is starting to figure out how to defeat the enemy aliens which suddenly attacked humanity, and things are not going well. The wide cast of characters gives many points of view into a cohesive and well-balanced story worth reading. Any fan of Science Fiction or Military Fiction will likely enjoy the Blood Wars.

I will admit to be pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Dr. Stone is a fine character and the mechanics of magic, as explained, are well done without being trite or overdone in anyway.

An interesting book, dealing with an old supernatural archetype in a way which I have never before seen. The main character is snatched from Earth after a few centuries of Subjugation by an alien species, taken along for a ride meeting another alien form which changes his outlook on many things.

Most original Vampire myth mixed with an excellently crafted Science Fiction tone.

Timothy Zahn has again given the Star Wars universe another fantastic story. Thrawn is one of the most fascinating characters I have read. While he may be a “bad guy” Thrawn's motivations are easily understood, and to a point, acceptable. Now we finally have the story of Thrawn's early years with the Imperial Navy, from his home in exile to his promotion to Grand Admiral, and the wait was worth it.

Not bad for a free book through Kindle Unlimited. The main character is a little stereotypical and unimaginative but the supernatural world may have some potential. All said a decent read if you are not looking for something to knock your socks off.

The second time through this book was even more spectacular than the first. This is a rich world Sanderson has built, I eagerly await books 3-10!

As with all the Wheel of Time written by Robert Jordan the story is good with only fair writing. Reading this series is like watching a B movie, fun but not great.

As this author writes the stories become less fragmented and more enjoyable. This series is a good one to read, but I doubt it is one I will read again.

In the midst of all my other books, I had forgotten how much I enjoy this series. Lucas is, again, digging, thinking, driving towards finding answers to his question. The usage of interpersonal tactics and intelligence to solve a mystery is again well done by John Sandford. Again, Lucas has grown as a character through this book, adding to the growth from the brash young hothead in book one until now.

Jim Butcher has done it again, built a world of fantastic characters with a unique magic system. His characters come alive on the pages of the book and there are mysteries and histories which tantalizingly make one eager for the next volume.

While Brandon Sanderson is one of the finest authors I have personally read, this book, to me, transcends most of what I have read. The creativity and uniqueness which his books offer is exemplified in this book. If you are a fantasy fiction fan this is a must read to any list.

While this series is entertaining to a point the suspension of disbelief is extremely high. Fun, simple story, plenty of irrelevancies, and holes in the plot but worth a read if you have a few hours to waste on a candy book.

A third of this book was fantastic, two thirds was Anita dealing with her dysfunctional relationships. As always the non-relationship parts of the book are interesting and fun, the other part however. While Hamilton writes a good story, in an interesting take on the supernatural world, perhaps a little less relationship horse crap would be appreciated. Kill Asher already.

As with all of Sandford's novels, I enjoyed it. His story lines are complex, fun, and well thought out. Granted there is always the required suspension of disbelief but what good novel doesn't have that?

Davenport's character keeps growing in new a different ways, which is for me, quite a unique experience. Anyone who is looking for an exciting thriller series should seriously consider reading all of these books.

Honestly, this is a rambling mess of random thoughts. This has no actual bearing on anything in the story other than a historical footnote at best.

This book was fantastic and highly entertaining, each book in this series was excellent and keep getting better.

As always Butcher has written a brilliant story with his cast of grand characters. Parkour!
