a bit long, written on the distance

First book i read about the knights of the round table. I found the book good but its all a bit on the distance. I didn't really feel connection with characters or only on some rare occasions.

Emma Newman: Between Two Thorns (2013)

just some bundle of short stories

This book has little value if you haven't read the other books of the planetfall series. It also doesn't add much extra insights. Don't get me wrong,i hope to see a real successor for the series. I like the world she has build and the view of the current world and where it is heading.

good ending

starts a bit slow like planetfall. But the story gets better and better nearing the end. Nice to see how the books are becoming more entangled.
