On Silver Wings (Hayden War Cycle, #1)

Cover for On Silver Wings (Hayden War Cycle, #1)

Review:

Good pop­corn mil-s­ci­fi.

OTO­H, would it KILL writ­ers who cre­ate char­ac­ters from a spe­cif­ic cul­tur­al back­ground to spend 5 min­utes vet­ting their names with peo­ple from sim­i­lar back­ground­s?

The main char­ac­ter is called So­ril­la Ai­da. And she's sup­posed to be mex­i­can. That's about as like­ly as a char­ac­ter from South Car­oli­na called Skunky.

The Will to Battle (Terra Ignota, #3)

Cover for The Will to Battle (Terra Ignota, #3)

Review:

This is a book about some­thing that does­n't hap­pen in this book.

That should make it a very bad book. It is a very good book in­stead.
