If you ever wished your high school math text book was peppered with very uneventful alien encounters, this is the book for you.
So boring.
Bonus star solely for the audiobook narration which was the only reason I didn't bail.

so stupid.

It was ok. I was expecting more based on the reviews & recommendations for this book. Not sure I'll invest the time in the next 2 in the series. It was a quick read, the narrator of the audiobook was really good. Most of the ‘jokes' revolve around sci-fi pop culture references (akin to Ready Player One which I started at some point & immediately hated & stopped reading). The middle was a slog & I contemplated just stopping, the ending picked up a bit though. There are some interesting story lines contained within here that I would have preferred to hear more about vs some of the actual plot lines the book is about. Saving grace is how short this was.

quick read, collection of the 6 volumes, a prequel to the first series - was hoping this would be a more expansive prequel but essentially just tells the beginnings of one character. it was decent, non-essential.

boring. predictable.
