Ep.#1 - "Aurora : CV-01" (Paperback, 2012, CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform) No rating

Feels like schlocky space opera, hoping it’s fun!

Well, surprising no one, this wasn’t very good. The plot line was a bit predictable, yet underdone, the writing was only ok and I found it really irritating that all but one of the non lead characters were female. Apparently there are like 16 books in series. That’ll be “no” from me

reviewed The Original by Brandon Sanderson

Thought provoking work

5 stars

I was disappointed that this turned out to be so short - novella - as I enjoyed it a lot. Imagine a world where nanites have made us all rich, but at the cost of taking away all the difficulties of life that keep us interested. Some have rebelled against this, and in the midst of all that, there has been a murder, and a young woman must figure out why she did it. (no, thats not a typo!) If Sanderson and Kowal collaborate again, I will be reading it!
