John Scalzi: The Ghost Brigades (Paperback, 2008, Tor) 4 stars

Solid Sequel

4 stars

I loved loved Old Mans War. I was happy that the universe was continued with this book as I wanted to know more about the universe that Scalzi created, about the characters, ghost brigades, etc. I was surprised on how different some of the Special Forces were to one another. It felt like a smaller story than the first and went by very fast. Writing is still very good, dialogue, etc.

Samantha Sotto Yambao, Cindy Kay: Water Moon (AudiobookFormat, 2025, Transworld) 3 stars

A woman inherits a pawnshop where you can sell your regrets, and then embarks on …

Too Melodramatic

3 stars

Watermoon feels like a Miyazaki movie with the settings and characters. It does magical realizism well but the characters are a bit flat and a good amount of story+characters are too melodramatic for me. Style was great but under a more talented writer I think this book could have had a lot more potential.

Original and Thought Provoking

5 stars

The narration on this book was solid and I loved the story. It weaves an intricate, unique story about religion, capitalism, homophobia, influence and trauma. Rose and Sals perspective on religion highly differ and its great to see all contrasting viewpoints of the same concepts and events. Would definitely recommend the Audiobook. Powerful and cathartic.

Our relationship wasnt all sunshine and rainbows but it was real. It was misunderstandings, and growth, and forgiveness, and acceptance and of course the beauty that comes with that...

It looks and is a runon sentence but having it said in the Audiobook, I thought it was beautiful.
