A Memory Called Empire

Wrote a review for

Very positively surprised by this book. I wouldn't call this a hard sci-fi story but more a mystery sci-fi book. It has a really good story, great character arcs and a very interesting universe where this whole thing plays in. And to top this off, the whole book ends with a nice closing, so there is no forced need to read the next book.


Highly recommended

Dune

Wrote a review for

I haven't been that wowed by some classical sci-fi book in a long time. This book was really good, just overall really good. I now understand how Dune has such a big fan group. The only Dune I knew before this was the David Lynch movie and it was fantastic abstract. And this book is just so amazing ... and now I want to see Dune again ...

Ancillary Sword

Wrote a review for

I read the second book after the third book because while reading the third book I never realized it was the third book because it was so flat and boring and nothing happened.

Now after reading the second book it feels more like the third book in progress and happening and I would be even more pissed off if I would have read that in order.

Still this book is just flat and boring and horrible like the other two. The main character is this all good all can do everybody thinks he can solve the universe person that you just start to hate really well really soon.

It feels like some horrible teenage fantasy novel that should have never been published.

Don‘t read one of those books. Ever.

Ancillary Mercy

Wrote a review for

I read Book 3 before reading Book 2 and I never realized I read the last part because it was so boring. So horrible boring. Just one thing popped up and I was like “when did that happen” but the rest. Boring. Nothing happens. The ending is so … boring that I still thought I am in book 2 and then we get to the good end. But there is no good end. It is just so boring and horrible.


Just don’t bother, read something else.

Ancillary Justice

Wrote a review for

It barely made it over the three star hurdle

The good: Interesting characters, interesting world and interesting world building

The bad: A story that drifts off into utter boring rambling instead of getting more interesting

The ugly: She? or She? or He? or She? or He? Useless gendering that made no sense

Recommended? Honestly not really, I will try the second book because overall it was not too bad, but I will not keep my hopes up
