Not the hard sci-fi I usually look for, but the story kept me going and I want to read more in this series.
Reviews and Comments
An avid sci-fi and fantasy reader who sometimes does historical fiction or even mainstream.
You might notice that most of my reviews are 5 stars. That's because if I start reading a book that doesn't engage me, I stop reading it. Life is too short. I've realized that it's not fair to review a book I haven't read and nobody really needs to hear why I didn't get into a book especially when they might like it.
My goals with reviews are to be brief and give other potential readers an idea of why they might like the book. I leave it to the marketing people and other reviewers to describe the plots.

I loved the first two books about September, but I didn't love this one. I'm still glad I read it and I hope there will be more.
I can't put my finger on what was different.
