These two stories were quite enjoyable. I get the feeling that Wells had in mind a third that could have explained what happened with Emilie’s older brother Erin, but it never materialized.

Steampunk young adult fiction is an unexpected hit. Wells continues to be easy to read. There’s nothing profound in this adventure but it’s a fabulous romp.

(Actually the ebook I have is a compendium of both stories in this series. One of the books in the cheapo bundle I got last year. I am lazy and cannot be bothered looking for more books to read so I just grabbed something already on my ereader.)

Wells is very easy to read and this book, though the genre isn’t really my thing, is no exception.

Still reading it! It’s … fine … but doesn’t change my opinion that fantasy is no longer my thing.

This one came in a bundle of Wells’s stories. I’m not one for high fantasy, especially kinds that use the body-possession trope, but I’ll at least read enough of it to be sure.

I think I need to read another series for a bit.

I don’t much like one of the characters in this, one that we met before in Artificial Condition. Fortunately there were some new characters too who seemed mostly likeable.

A noun phrase that Murderbot uses frequently in this book is “humans and augmented humans” and it’s really annoying me, in the same way that certain people use the phrase “women and trans women”.
“Humans” is enough.
