This book swings for the fences with far grander storylines than the previous volume, to varying degrees of success, but manages to win out on charm, even as the plot gets weirdly convoluted. ]]> ReadStatus9521257652 Sat, 07 Jun 2025 20:23:41 -0700 /review/show/7636488020 Eric is currently reading The Running Grave by Robert Galbraith

This book is very consistent with its predecessor, keeping the formula moving while deepening the lore around this intergalactic chess game playing out between factions and personalities, All filtered through the lens of a single human and his cat.

Just setting expectations that it's not a standalone of any kind ]]> ReadStatus9449340835 Tue, 20 May 2025 18:47:46 -0700 /review/show/7586238014 Eric is currently reading Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman
