Earthling's Brother - Chapter 1
I feel like there should be a way to post book excerpts here on Goodreads. Isn't this supposed to be a site about reading books? Since I can't figure out any other way to do it, I'll just do a blog post. Enjoy!

| At the end of the 1st book, the author explained that she was going for a modern, feminist version of Mulan compared to the traditional version, which I was looking forward to reading about. Instead, we got a completely passive hero whose only real s ...more | |

| I liked this. It's just Mulan, so if you've seen any of those movies, it's 80% the same. But still, was good. Unfortunately, if you read this one, you'll want to read the next, which is a turd, so that's an issue. But on it's own, yeah, liked it. ...more | |

| I really wanted to like this book. If I had only read the first 50 and last 25 pages, I'd have given it 4.5/5 stars. The overall idea is great, and this should have been amazing. The problem is that there's another 400 pages in between that are a tot ...more | |

| There are already a ton of reviews about this, and I'm really late to the party reading it like 30 years after it was published, so I'll just say this: There was a lot of sex in this book. Like A LOT, a lot. I wasn't expecting that. Please consider t ...more | |

| I read Abercrombie's The Blade Itself triology, which I liked a lot until I got to the completely lame ending, which then moved the author from my "good" list to my "bad" list. It's sort of like Santa's naughty list, except I don't give out coal to t ...more | |

| This is not the first time I've been burned by a book that starts off with a list of all the characters that you'll encounter on page 1. It wasn't as bad as the Gideon the Ninth books I guess, but I still found myself thinking "wait, who is this char ...more | |

2.5 rounded up to 3. This is the perfect example of an author having too much success on their first book, and some executive makes the decision to stretch what should be a trilogy into a 5-book set (or whatever). So then the author has to figure out ...more |

“We found ourselves transported to a different dimension. Society as we had known it faded away. There was no thought of money or personal property. Whatever resources any of us had were freely offered to the group, and everyone’s needs were easily met.
The society that we live in during normal times tends to separate people from each other. Everyone lives in their own isolated little box and runs off to do work in other isolating boxes. People don’t really connect and tend to live lives that are very apart from any real sense of community. But here, all of those walls were suddenly gone, and Pointe Patrol found that it had become a tribe.”
