Excellent story - both a dark turn on the events of the previous, and some great new characters and creatures!

I love the very original treatment of this installment's cryptid (I won't spoil the surprise for you!), and it's great to see Kalyani Sharma develop through this book!

Most of the characters I loved from the first book continued strong into this book, though life hasn't been easy for any of them since the end of the 1st book. It's a great departure from the usual "everything works out perfectly for the hero" type of story. A lot more like 'The Empire Strikes Back' in that sense.

Great book, and I can't wait for the next one!

Unexpectedly great book. I had pretty low expectations considering that it's a game book, but Eric Nylund did a really great job on this story.

I've never been this interested in the 'lore' of Halo. Wish I'd read it years ago!

Truly fantastic book, I enjoyed it thoroughly. One of the best pieces of sci-fi I've read in years. I spent many late nights on this story.
I bought it because I liked the series, and I'm SO glad I did!

Good selection of cases, most of which I've read before. Nice collection.

The Lensmen series is a bit hit or miss for me. The early works are pretty decent, especially the fun capital ship combat. The later bits drag, sometimes painfully so. It's almost "Flash Gordon" levels of ridiculous in many parts.

Overall, I don't think the series has aged especially well, definitely not in today's climate. Some of it is downright embarrassingly bad.

I enjoyed it a lot more as a young kid, to be fair.

Fantastic book. Reminds me of William Gibson in all the best ways.

Complete trash by a writer whose name should be forgotten by time.

I really wanted to love this book, but I just couldn't get into it. It seemed to just drag and wander.

The best guide there is to C++, and a worthwhile update to the version I had before.
Happy to have a copy digitally now, as it makes it easier to search for "that specific thing" when I'm using it.

Predictable but a bit amusing.
