  "Corey shows the reader a glimpse of what the Protomolcule and its construct the Ring is and it's both horrific and wonderful. And in true epic saga fashion, all the characters can do is hold on for the ride and try not to die." 4 Stars.  Pros:   Though some characters are new, there's still Holden/Naomi/Amos and Alex, the tried and true crew of the Rocinante/The Ring itself though mind boggling and strange is truly terrifying but astonishing.   Cons:  The "station" inside the "Ring" and all that it entailed was very mind bending and out there, the enormity was a bit hard to grasp/Some parts were bogged down with descriptions of the layout of the Behemoth during fight scenes.  Full Review: Everything's been quiet, more or less, ever since the Construct created by the Protomolecule rose from Venus and went off towards Neptune. But when a stupid kid decides to prove his machismo by sling-shotting his small ship through the mysterious Ring (what...

"An idea that had great potential but the lackluster relationships and annoyingly fierce independence of the Protagonist sent this reader blissfully to sleep. " 2 Stars Pros:  Definitely a unique and interesting idea/I liked the vague dystopian eeriness of  O'Brien's world at The Forge School .  Cons:  A lot of the relationships felt forced and I wanted to feel for Rosie but her blatant naivete and rabid determination just got old. Her fierce independence and determination, her attitude of, "I'm the only one that can do it" just felt overdone.  Full Review:  Rosie Sinclair is an imaginative and creative girl who's struggling through the first semester at the prestigious art school she's attending. Not only is it full to bursting with promising young stars, giving Rosie plenty of inspiration for her budding film career. But it also happens to be the set of the #1 Reality TV Show in the world. There are cameras on the students, 12 hours a day and t...

"Impossible to describe or follow if you haven't read Leviathan Wakes , Calibarn's War has the same visceral draw and pull and just adds more fuel to the fire of an already incredible series." 5 Stars Pros:  The new characters introduced are again, flawed but relatable and everyone brought something useful to the table. Also getting to know the crew of the Rocinante a little better was refreshing and made you care for the characters even more.  Cons:  Still some parts were a little technical and there was a whole lot of political posturing going on but, as one of the characters Avasrala says, "That's how the game is played."  Full Review:  Roberta "Bobbie" Draper is a Martian Marine stationed on Ganymede. There's a tenuous "peace", neither Mars nor Earth daring to make the first move but each knowing how pivotal the Moon is. It's essentially the breadbasket of the Outer Planets thus, an extremely important base. But the huge w...

"It had promise at the start but by the end, it was a struggle due to unnecessary, explicit gore, abuse and just overall cringe worthiness."  1 Star Pros:  It was intriguing at first, the mystery behind it all.  Cons:  In the end, the lack of a backstory, explanation and just, the events overall left me feeling extremely uncomfortable and sick.  Full Review:  Oskar is intelligent but an outcast. He's often picked on by Jonny and his two lackeys. They beat him up, call him names, all the usual bullying antics and he's left feeling miserable and alone. He keeps a scrapbook of news stories about serial killers and often fantasizes that perhaps, one day, he can get his revenge.  It's on one night while out in the playground that he sees the reflection of a girl in the blade of his knife, while he's playing serial killer (yes, you read that right) and he goes over to see who she is. It turns out she lives in the building next to his and her name is Eli. She...
