The Nova Incident

Wrote a review for

I have enjoyed all the previous Galactic Cold War novels, and this one is my favorite. There is more of a focus on Kovalic as the main character, but new characters, such as Addy Seyers, continue to be well fleshed out and are interesting additions to the group.

While set in the future, in a setting of science fiction, this is still definitely a spy thriller at its heart. As such, I think it would appeal to fans of either or both genres. The story moves along at a thrilling pace, with enough breaks that it never feels out of control (the entire story takes place over the course of only a couple of days). As a novel, it wraps up satisfyingly enough that it was enjoyable, but ends with its hooks deep in you, wanting more. Hopefully the story will continue!

Mistborn: The Final Empire

Wrote a review for

Mistborn is a thrilling introduction to a fascinating world of magic, mystery and danger. Brandon Sanderson does an excellent job of developing this world, along with its own magic systems and hints of a deep, rich mythology. This first entry is an incredibly satisfying read, yet leaves plenty open for the future installments. I thoroughly enjoyed this first book and look forward to reading the rest of this series.
