Shaping up to be one of Dayton Ward’s best books yet!

I’m only halfway through book 2, but I LOVE it! This series is cementing itself among my favorites already.

I really like the lead in for this book, but it’s taking much longer than I anticipated. Still love it though.

Just getting good!

Just found a Lost Stars reference. I literally said out loud “wait what?!”


… oh this book is so good!

I am amazed at the storytelling quality here. This is one of the most fascinating and heartfelt Fantasy stories I have read in a long time.

I’ve only barely begun, and yet this is a fantastic story. Some of the best, most vivid and interesting characters I’ve read in a while. The worldbuilding is good too. Need a little more plot to really kick it into high gear.

Dawson just used the phrase “hillbilly Borg” and that had me in stitches. Also there’s a great reference to Watership down, which I really loved.

This is one of the most twisted, well written books I’ve ever read!

This book is downright weird. This is the most unique and horrifying concept I’ve ever read… And I’m only a quarter of the way through the book.

* i’m actually really enjoying it. So well written.*

Rereading this in anticipation of the podcast.

Very weird start. Many odd choices made…but it’s still interesting.

This series finally kicked into high gear. This is the level of storytelling I’ve been waiting for.

At this point, this book feels like middle episodes of a long running drama series. Nothing surprisingly bad here, but nothing amazing either. Very much same old same old that’s still highly entertaining.

Superb opening and wonderful style. I can see why everyone loves Peter David.

Quality Timothy Zahn Writing. Should be done reading it tomorrow morning and should have my review up in the afternoon.

It’s somehow better and worse at the same time.

After a streak of excellent books, it’s sad to read a weaker one…
