Status Updates From Cross Fire (Exo, #2)

Done! This was a surprisingly good series with a great story that could be explored with another book or two. The writing’s not very good and the characters are there just to move the story forward but the relationship between the zhree and humans were interesting. I enjoyed the politics too. Three stars.

All hell broke loose! And Donovan just made a huge decision that may have devastating consequences for himself! At first I really didn’t know this was going to end since it’s only a duology, but now I see that an end is near. Pacing is rapid-fire, but this could have been a trilogy with all the plot that’s going on! Character development is nonexistent though. Just pawns to carry the plot.

I definitely understand the implications now! I was thinking way too small apparently. Things will be absolutely buck wild and Sapience will be smack dab in the middle. Lee does a great job in describing military leadership and camaraderie. I approve. The “relationship” between Anya and Donovan is bogus. He risks a lot and he barely knows her. Lots of telling too. But I’m enjoying it!

The plot thickens as Donovan and co just learned info that was hinted at in the first book. I’m not quite understanding the implications, though. They lived without zhree technology before so….humans should be good, right? Or is it about being left out to dry? This series is only a duology so I hope it ends well because there seems to be a lot of plot to unfold. I’m really enjoying it though!
