by commas, blood betrayed
Like that they used a title of another older novel and just added a word to it yeah real original. This story comes off as if it was prepared as a power point presentation and handed to brian young to write the story out. In the end all he did was take the bullet points and turn them into commas, because omg is there slot of commas , if kindle would let me count just the number of commas in 100 pages of text I’m sure the number would be close to 350 and would outshine any individual letter used. I am going to have nightmares about commas for the next couple nights because once i saw them they just kept coming.

The fight for the dominion continues
Bryan has really salvaged the once controversial Dominion Civil War plotline for me with this series. Can't wait for the conclusion.

Way to short
A good read but much to short. Wish these authors would just keep writing instead of publish 300 tint pages .
