3.75 out of 5 stars Excellent series, strong finish, but I still hate time loops. Goodreads.com: Aurora's End, by Amie Kaufmann and Jay Kristoff (The Aurora Cycle #3) I love The Aurora Cycle, and as a series, I'd give the whole thing 4.25 stars. It started out whiz-bang in Aurora Burning (4.5 stars), sunk it's … Continue reading Review: Aurora’s End
5 out of 5 stars Goodreads.com: Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir I loved this book. As we meet Project Hail Mary's protagonist, he doesn't know who, or where, he is. So basically anything about the book is a spoiler. SPOILERS AHEAD - setup only, not about the story's resolution. It turns out our hero … Continue reading Review: Project Hail Mary
4 out of 5 stars Snark. In space. Sign me up. Goodreads.com: Aurora Burning, by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff (The Aurora Cycle #2) Following Aurora Rising (4.5 stars), I knew I wanted more. And wanted Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff to scathingly scribe my inner monologue for life. Alas, I can only have one … Continue reading Review: Aurora Burning
3.5 out of 5 stars Goodreads.com: Undying, by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner (Unearthed #2) Teens on Earth! Well, the getting there isn't easy. When we left Jules and Mia at the end of Unearthed, they'd sealed themselves inside an alien spaceship with the intent of blowing it up before the governmental International Alliance can … Continue reading Review: Undying
4 out of 5 stars Goodreads.com: Unearthed, by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner (Unearthed #1) Teens in space! I saw this book described as such, "... with Indiana Jones and Lara Croft." An appealing claim, but one that overestimates our heroes, Jules Addison and Mia Radcliffe. An homage, certainly, but our intergalactic adolescents are likable … Continue reading Review: Unearthed
2.75 out of 5 stars A little bit better than the first, with a little more hope for the last. Goodreads.com: Archenemies, by Marissa Meyer (Renegades #2) Listen. There's making sure we get it. There's reminding us of an important plot point before the story builds on it. And then there's Archenemies. Nova is still … Continue reading Review: Archenemies
3.5 out of 5 stars The Renegades trilogy finds it's stride, then has to sprint for the end. Goodreads.com: Supernova, by Marissa Meyer (Renegades #3) When we left Nova and company at the end of Archenemies (book 2), she had just robbed Renegades HQ of several iconic artifacts, including the helmet that allowed her presumed-dead, … Continue reading Review: Supernova
2.5 out of 5 stars Goodreads.com: Renegades, by Marissa Meyer (Renegades #1) On the highest, tippy top of the upside: The Lunar Chronicles. On the lowest, bottom-scrape of the downside: Heartless. Marissa Meyer has done some of the best and worst work in recent YA fiction, so my hope for Renegades was wobbly. It doesn't … Continue reading Review: Renegades
4 out of 5 stars As good as the first book in the series, Dev1at3 turns the focus from Evie to her supporting cast, and they are well worth the spotlight. Goodreads.com: Dev1at3, by Jay Kristoff (Lifelike #2) At the end of Lifel1k3, Evie Carpenter, orphan and scrappy scavenger girl in a post-apocalyptic American future, … Continue reading Review: Dev1at3
4.5 out of 5 stars Always having more fun than any reader, Aime Kaufman and Jay Kristoff are back at it with another spunky, action-packed space opera. Goodreads.com: Aurora Rising, by Aime Kaufman and Jay Kristoff (The Aurora Cycle #1) Space ace Tyler Jones, top of his class at Aurora Academy, is set to graduate … Continue reading Review: Aurora Rising
