Review of 'Mass Effect: Revelation' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Pulp science fiction adventure based on a video game, but not bad. The Mass Effect universe is certainly fleshed out enough to support some novelizations of the backstory. Some of the giant expository dumps at the beginning may be a bit too detailed for someone who has played through the game(s), (and who else is going to read this book), especially for someone who has read all the exposition within the game, done all the side quests, etc.

Overall an enjoyable quick summer read. I'll read the others in the series and may even read them all again before I play the conclusion to the video game trilogy.
