"The Omega Factor" was fine if unspectacular. Nick and Kelsey are solid protagonists. Claire is a solid...anti-hero I guess? She was interesting but I'm not sure if we were really supposed to be rooting for her. Fuentes is a solid villain. The plot mov ...more |

| "Carl's Doomsday Scenario" is a perfectly fine book, similar to the first: Carl and Princess Donut are good characters, there's some funny moments, lots of action happens. The world-building is pretty good, and there are more hints at stuff occurring ...more | |

"Isles of the Emberdark" will not go down as my favorite Brandon Sanderson novel, and it is a bit of a soft "4", but I did like it overall. Dusk is a really good protagonist; I really liked his character, both who he was and the arc he undergoes. Vath ...more |

| "Harry Potter and the Art of Spying" was a cute book that combines actual info about spying with an analysis of Harry Potter. A bit of an odd marriage, but it mostly worked. The spy info was interesting enough, although my personal favorite parts wer ...more | |

In the very central core of this book is a pretty solid premise: a humorous allegory of high school as told by a dragon. I imagine after pitching that central premise to the editor, the editor said, "Okay. What else will be in this book?" And the auth ...more |

"Red Rabbit" was a book that had potential but ultimately fell short. The characters are mostly fine; certainly dynamic although there's just too many of them (every location has a new group of spies and they all blur together). I did like Zaitzev, he ...more |

| "The History of Rome book 33-39" cover a relatively short period in the early 2nd century BC, mostly about Rome's wars in Greece and Anatolia, plus some domestic squabbles (although a lot less of these than in books 1-5; I guess going out and conquer ...more | |

| I enjoyed "The Mystery Knight' graphic novel. Like in the previous volumes, Ser Duncan and Egg are both great, and there's some good new characters are well, like Ser Kyle the Cat, Ser Glendon, Ser Uthor the Snail, and Ser John the Fiddler (however, ...more | |
