Red Rising

Wrote a review for

I came to this book with nothing more than a "you should read it" recommendation, so I didn't really know what I was getting in to, and boy did that make it a whirlwind!

I put it at only 4 stars because I found myself feeling like it was a lot closer to fantasy writing style than sci-fi, and that rubbed me a little wrong. Things happening because the author needed them to happen and it was convenient for the story usually bothers me, but I didn't mind too much here because the setting is interesting and I was very invested in the character development.

It's an excellent first-in-a-series book in that it stands alone well and if I only read this one I'd still be glad I had, but that I also can't wait to start reading the next one! Which I will do starting..... now.

Heaven's River

This one is interesting because if you've read the other Bobiverse books it starts of feeling very different, and perhaps in a worrying way. But boy oh boy, it gets there in the end and I can't wait for the next one. Don't be turned off by the premise at the beginning like I almost was!

The saga of Bob continues to delight. Not much more of a review is required. If you've read the first three, then you should read this one. If you haven't go read those right now.
