I'm excited to see where this third entry in the series goes. A slow start, but I expected that. Bring on more stories!
Definitely a must read if you're a romance writer.
While not wholly unhelpful for non-romance, I don't think it's that helpful. I got a few things out of it and have a few things to consider (Hence the 3 stars) so not a waste of time or money, but not the homerun many say it is, for me.
Somehow this author thought to make Liea a bit of a dummy. This trilogy takes place well into her career (After Thrawn and Daala) but she comes across as incredibly naive.
I never read this series back when it came out so coming fresh this time around.
I can see why this trilogy doesn't have the same love as others. The characters are pale shades of those we've come to know.
The wrap-up was super heavy on the Dues Ex to the point I was like, “What? That could have happened at any point, why drag this story out three books?”
Definitely a one and done read for me.
A fun scifi adventure. The world-building was fun, it felt very Buck Rogers.
It wasn't worth knocking a star, but ending on a “More in the next book” is annoying.
A slow burn for sure, but not bad. If you're looking for battles, chases or well action of any kind, this won't be for you. If you want something slower and more thought provoking, take a look. The premise was interesting enough to keep my attention.
Another fun romp through the galaxy. i was pretty leery about the whole time jump thing, but so far it's being executed in a fun and engaging way.
I enjoyed it. I'm not the target audience (It's YA) but it was a fun read. I got it in a bundle.
A solid read. As with any writing related book, some of the concepts are dated (thankfully, mostly in the tools area).
I liked the scheduling and planning section. I'm working on improving those aspects of my writing.
This was a fun one! I love all of the adventures of Nathan and the crew, but this one was a fun one. Sometimes they're empire strikes back, sometimes they're return of the Jedi. This one was the latter.
Not sure what I think. Did I enjoy it? Sorta. I did finish it, so that's something.
Not a spoiler per se, but the end lacked oomph. It builds and builds and builds then petered out into “everything was fine.”
This is entirely based on personal taste. The series so far has been a fun read and I'm sure I'll re-read them someday.
That said.
The previous books started focusing on Alica/Noah, and I was worried we'd continue that, and this book did just that. I don't find either character that interesting, and their kinda adolescent romance on/off will they/won't they thing, is just annoying and not well written.
This might be my last stop on the Spinward Fringe train. I've enjoyed the ride and still recommend the series, but for me, I think I'm done.
A five book story arc to tell a story that might have been better in 3. We'll see.
Good enough for light reading but not an awesome book or story
Overall an enjoyable read. Keeping in mind it's YA it just wasn't what I was hoping for.
The cast was pretty fun, but kind of shallow in some ways. We got a ton of details on this aspect or another and next to none on others.
If YA was my genre I'd likely be at least moderately excited for the next installment.
One of the weaker endings from Terry. The story leading up was pretty good, not one of my favorite trilogies, but good, but then the end was, ‘bam solved in 10 pages'
My local bookstore did a promotion giving away the print version of this book on indie bookstore day. I walked down just to get it and say hi.
Fun fact the print is really small, so I tracked down the ebook from the publisher, and bought that. The paperback will be gifted to help spread the word.
I've been leery of Amazon for a while, and seeing how things work as an author only re-inforced my worries.
Danny's words resonated and helped push me further from giving amazon my money.
I enjoyed it. Definitely one of those slower reads there's not “OMG” climax moment or anything like that, but it's an engaging read nonetheless.
Dad gave me this when I visited. Probly not one I'd normally pick up. Will see if it's worth grabbing the rest for the Kindle
I often wish I had the will power to wait until Terry finished a series so I could read them all back to back. Alas I do not possess that will power.
good read. great story. may lack technical details, but we already knew those. I wanted and got the story of the man who changed the technology world.
