Nemesis Games by James S. A. Corey – For me, the books work
better when the crew is together instead of being split apart. And I would have
been more interested in the alien world than a local conflict that isn’t really
solved. Still, I liked it better than book 3, a little less than book 4. 4/5
stars Amazon Bookdepository
Superposition by David Walton – I wasn’t taken by the
narrator’s voice and each time the character’s name who was supposed to be
Romanian (it’s not!) and the word “varcolac” were mentioned, it threw me right
out of the story, but the science was smart and that saved the book for me. 4/5
stars Amazon Bookdepository
The Vagrant by Peter Newman – Well, this was different. The
narrator has a compelling voice, I’ll give him that. But the 3rd
person distant POV made it hard to care for the characters and figure out the
‘why’s behind what we were shown. It was like watching a movie. I’m sure the
writer had everything clear in his head, but what we were allowed to see wasn’t
all that clear or interesting. We never really got to know the MC, and frankly,
the goat was much more interesting. 4/5 stars Amazon Bookdepository
The Gateway Trip by Frederik Pohl – One story was really
good while the rest felt like a recap of the other books in the series. 3/5
stars Amazon Bookdepository
The Girl Who Was Plugged In by James Tiptree Jr. – Imagine
a world without ads. Wouldn’t you like to live there? Perhaps not. This was a
sad story, but it couldn’t have ended in any other way. 4/5 stars Amazon Bookdepository
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater – Claustrophobic and
overly rich in exposition. Unsatisfying ending. But it has not just one but
four broken boys so… :) 3/5 stars Amazon Bookdepository
