Matthew Meade’s Reviews > Mal Goes to War > Status Update

So… we are supposed to mourn the loss of clippy and !helpdesk? Da fuck?

A new big bad introduce. Day.
Wiping out computers is the same as genocide? Throwing out a computer is murder? This is assinine.

… and then…. And then… and then…

Big bad introduced on page 250. Dead by 257.

The only interesting part of this book is where arnold tries to bang MAL. Too bad it’s played as a deus ex machina

Mal is trans but this isnt explored at all .

There is no consistency to the Mal character. He tells Kaylee he would never hirt her and then offers to strangle her. He doesn’t understand what people are saying even though he has watched hours of tv. It is all based on what is the most convenient for the author.

Liberal power fantasy. Ends justify the means nonsense with zero ethical explorations. Pedantic bullshit that is No different than Lee Child or Tom Clancy.

Holy shit. The main characters are all so insufferable. “Im done!” They shout and beat their little fists.

The antagonists are far more interesting. The humanists. How could anyone root for rowan amd kaylie?

The books is as naive as one might expect for a book with “war” in the title. It’s a power fantasy along the lines if jack reacher or jack ryan except with left leaning clothes. Liberals are just as suseptible to this as comservatives
