Space War
I am excited about tech advances, and what will happen in future! Kicked Lizard butt! I wonder where they came from, it definitely goes into it in this book but I’m not sure if it’s a case of more will be revealed or if I just want to know more because mostly we get SF POV and sometimes 3rd wall info.. I remember a bit where I was reading and it said something about the Lizards maybe that our characters didn’t know yet. Aside from maybe 5 ppl.. I need a character map! Ps totally check out the website in the Bk.. found a way cool forum!! All about SF except that I was mainly confused since I started from Origins and have read nothing else yet.

Good story. Lacks polish.
The story line is good with entry of world building and character development.
The time jumps are a little disconcerting sometimes but mostly manageable.
The grammar is lacking by a fair margin and should have undergone more proofreading. There are tense changes that are mostly just annoying, and then there are instances of incorrect homonyn usage that make me want to punch a wall. All of this could have been avoided with a simple grammar checker, and it diminishes the story to have so many avoidable errors.
It makes me wonder if an AI was used to build some of the sentence structure.
Still a good story, but the grammar needs better editing.

Wow!
Great action, problems solved, enemies destroyed. The offer of help from the balloon race brings up a possible problem, I'll do it backwards. Let's say the Archons found a planet with 16th century Mongols and American Indians. You know they can fight, but if you give them modern weapons, after they help you, what is to stop them from wanting more than you may want to give and attacking you?

More I read the more I enjoy this series
Entertaining read gets a little unbelievable at times because of the technology differences. Still an entertaining read. It may help one some in the reading if you have a familiarity with video games like halo. If you play video games you would like this series.

Good read, but a bit tedious near the end
Good continuing narrative, but too much focus on a long and ultimately, hard to keep chugging through to get to the end. Have totally enjoyed this series so far, so hoping that this is just a one-off anomaly. Don’t get me wrong -still a good read overall. Just too much tome spent killing “lizards” by the thousands....

Headache
Great story. I feel that there's to much fighting, fluff. The story jumps decades forward. I feel that I need to keeps a time table. Talk more about figuring out tech a lot less fighting.

Very Good Series
I have joyful it read 20 books in the series. Up to this set, no misspelled words or misused words. Aside from 3 or 4 bloopers, very well written and paints a very graphic word picture.
Well done!

Good read
I am so enjoying this series,sometimes I feel that some of the fight scenes are too long. However; the author has a right to do it his way😄.
Character development is very good! I would recommend this series to avid sci-fi readers

Very compelling
I truly enjoy this type story. The historical progression over the centuries of our main characters keeps me coming back for more.

Slightly boring as it was all land battles. Not sure if it was necessary to read to get the rest of the series

Lizards
The fighting begins. Characters remain steady. Plot mostly predictable but not always. Pretty good story line though. . . .

Powerful
A blazing, original theme, this series redefines the long haul. It sets up an ongoing saga defining the future of humanity for millennia.

a tad wordy
the story line is inventive but has become a futuristic form of "The Perils if Pauline.".It dies have a decent plot line that gets a little convoluted at times.

Action All the Time
The full tilt action I'd such that when it slows down it's still full speed. Like a baseball pitcher who throws so hard his change -up comes in at 92 mph.

Not worth it
Sadly, the series has devolved. Too much battle detail, too little plot. It reads like a video game description. No fun

Fighting Lizard is harder than it looks
The lizards are direct fighters with a lot of complexity.
Can we beat them?
Do we want to make alliances without complete understanding?

Action packed
If you like plenty of action this has it! And the good guys don't always have it a easy time against a clever opponent

From the first book this series is hard to put down and full of action. The best science fiction series I have read in a long time and I have read thousands of books. The Star Force series keeps me wanting to read more of it's books.

Action is building.
The action is building up to where I'm unable to stop reading. Aer-ki Jyr Origin series is a page turner.

I'm enjoying these in spite of the writing quirks.
In fact I've been staying up way past my bedtime to read them.

The writing has been improving as this series has continued. I am getting invested in the main characters and want to know where they go next.
