This got better as it went along, but was a bit patchy. It felt like the first quarter of the book could have been removed without changing much.

If you liked the others in this series, you’ll like this one. Bit of a slow start, but once it gets going it’s great.

Takes a little while to get going, but this is another cracker of a book from Tchaikovsky. I love the world of the Bioforms and Distributed Intelligences.

Got about 30% through this book and just lost interest. I absolutely love Tchaikovsky’s science fiction, but this one just never grabbed me.

For the last year or so I’ve been convinced that I have already started this book and didn’t like it. Turns out I must have been thinking of a completely different book, because I definitely have not read any of this before.

A surprisingly standard misfits on a mission plot from Joe Abercrombie. The characters are great, as is the writing, and there’s a couple of twists at the end. Highly enjoyable, and I look forward to reading the next in the series.

Nothing surprising, usual reasonable quality Scalzi book. Decent plot, funny quips. An entertaining way to spend a few hours.
