Review: Zoe's Tale

Zoe's Tale by John Scalzi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I listened to the audio book and really enjoyed the reader.

I do love how John Scalzi writes. Simple, straight-forward, tells his tales and lets the readers fill in a lot of the detail in their heads. This entry is particularly special because he tells the tale of a teenager who is allowed to grow and learn and is shown as intelligent, yet young and struggling to find her way in the world.

The Enceladus Crisis by Michael J. Martinez
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Not as good as the first and ends with a cliff hanger. Not at all certain I'll read more in the series.

Review: Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen

Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen by Lois McMaster Bujold
My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I listened to the audio version (reader: Grover Gardiner)

Enjoyable revisit to Cordelia and company. MIles wasn't as obnoxious as usual so that made me happier. Only Ivan was missing. Sigh.

Review: A Plague of Swords

A Plague of Swords by Miles Cameron
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this series. Old fashioned sword and sorcery, with a smart ass hero who always has plans within plans. The cast of characters are diverse and well drawn, and the world-building is first rate.

The entire series is complex and compelling.
