Well if the last book was spectacular this book is tense and beautiful. It is equally as good. The story kept me on the edge of my seat the entire way. A little slow at the beginning but it was needed and in no way takes anything from the story. There were some unintentionally lovely …

Nemesis Games by James S.A. Corey
Well that was pretty spectacular. It’s hard to review a fifth book in a series so I won’t go into the plot too much. After the fairly ‘local’ events of the fourth book we are thrown back into the reach of the solar system where the effects of the gates on humanity is starting to …
