The kitties have been wonderful, and very cuddly. They have been especially good about going on their walks. Lana got scared of John when she saw him one day, just like Archer was scared of the Google delivery guy. I am also trying to feed them more of a meal schedule and less of them eating whenever they want.
The Heir of Novron was a great book, and I happened to read it out of order with Rise of an Empire. The character development in this book was very nice, and the way in which the story twisted and turned was great. The lost city adventures were fantastic, and I especially liked the way the magic was used.
This was a really nice ending to a great story. I look forward to any new additions to this, but it seems like it could stop here and go no further without much loss. The ending is different from most books in the genre, with the winning character being morally ambiguous leaning towards evil, with the other main characters not caring for him at all. The inquisitor character has the best story by far, and I would really like to hear more of his story in particular.
This was a nice book, that had an exciting story. I really like the messiness of all the characters, where they actually feel real. They have their goals, and their moral failings. The character of Logan Nine Fingers is the most interesting since he has the split personality that has supernatural powers. It is an example of an extreme Jekyll and Hyde.
I enjoyed this book, with the main character being punished for her attempts to help people, and it compounding upon itself. The pilot dichotomy is strange, since there is a hard cutoff. I would expect there to be a bell curve of physical aptitude, but the book make it sound like there are those who have it and those who don’t. I might read more of the series, but it is decently low on the list.
This was a good story, but I really didn’t like the delivery. The way the perspective jumped around threw me off in a lot of situations, because I couldn’t easily tell that the change had happened. I did like a lot of the world building and most of the characters, but that disorienting perspective makes me not as keen to continue on this series at the moment.
This was a really nice temporary ending to the series. I’ll pick it back up when the next ones come out. The wars in the title make up a very small part of the book, with a lot of politics and movements of the major characters playing a bit bigger of a role. The fires from the last book are featured heavily, and drive most of the action in this book. My favorite part is the understanding that Climbs-Quickly has of the human situations, even more than most of the humans involved.
This was a nice little book, and I enjoyed listening to it. The characters didn’t evolve much in the book, but the little bit that did happen was nice. The story didn’t touch on much more of the sentience and intrinsic value question, but the recap was nice.
This was a really nice book, and it reminds me of bending in the Avatar. I’ll probably go through the rest of the series.
