enne📚 reviewed Livesuit by James S. A. Corey (The Captive's War, #1.5)

3 stars

Series by James SA Corey really like to have optional novellas in between the longer novels. Livesuit is "book 1.5" in their latest Captive's War series.

It's a short military sf story from the perspective of humans fighting against the Carryx. This novella functions as supplemental worldbuilding for impatient readers, and also brings a different perspective than the one from the captive humans in the novels.

Ultimately, the story is weak and doesn't stand on its own. I would consider this novella strongly optional.
