I’ll be honest. It took me two tries to get into this book. I’m not sure why. Might have been just my brain at the time. When it kept showing up in my queue, I went back for a second try and I’m glad I did.

So, I’m a sucker for a good SF/R and there’s nothing like a good action/adventure with a collection of likable – even lovable – characters. I think my initial response was based on the kid. It felt too facile, too easy. Yeah. I was wrong about that, too.

I liked this book a lot and I just spotted book two in the series. I know what I’ll be reading next. Just don’t take my word for it. Why not grab a sample and see for yourself.
