4 gnomes out of 5 gnomes
The latest book in the Alien series
continues to be full of fun and bursting with style/witty banter. This
one did have a whole lot of people dying too so it continues to ramp up
the emotional impact of the series. The stakes since the ending of the
last book remain very high and things do intensify for everyone.
Characters I Love:
Reader,
Olga, Kitty. There’s always someone interesting in these books and
even the background characters are intriguing/easy to root for.
Characters that I want to see more of:
Ace,
Christopher, Walter, Reader. That’s the problem of having so many
characters if you’re like me you want to know/hear more abou them all
the time. I also want to see more aliens because whenever Kitty’s
allies from the Alpha 4 system show up it’s never boring.
Characters that I’m suspicious of:
Vance,
some of the hackers and pretty much all of the politicians. That’s
what happens though when the action now mostly takes place in the DC
area.
Events I Wish There Were More of:
There
was a lot less chaos/fallout then I expected when the whole A-C secret
was pretty much advertised to the world. (I was kind of expecting an
all out war or something.) I miss the giant fights but I’m pretty sure
that just like in the old before Washington days that there will be
plenty of problems in the future.
Suspicions/Worries
The
way these books have been going I worry that one of the major
characters will die because of one of the many schemes that go on.
I
am also worried that Jamie might turn into some kind of evil genius
baby. She’s adorable and everything but I think she might know too much
too fast. Or that she could potentially ala Star Wars go to the dark side.
The Ending
The
end saw some great politics in action and really shows that Kitty might
just finally understand everything she has to do as an Ambassador.
