Yeah, this one was okay, it was kind of a fun adventure story, the ending was very cliché though, and maybe a bit too well telegraphed this time around, it also just didn't feel as good as the others in the series, I hope the next one does it better.

I'm mostly a sci-fi reader, preferring happy feelgood stories, and competency porn, but reading a lot of different stuff makes me happy :)

Decent story, with a disliked trope
4 stars
The story was pretty good, and I enjoyed most parts of it, not a big fan of the "Evil meddling mother in law" trope, it just brings me nothing, I know they will be together in the end. I liked the other parts of the story, this one is more of a love story than sci-fi, still good, but leaning maybe a bit more in that direction than what I wanted, especially since it leant towards actually doing an interesting linugistics kind of story.

Slowly getting better
4 stars
I'm starting to enjoy this series more and more, the pacing and everything in this one just felt better to me than in the previous ones, now I'm looking more forward to the next one than what I thought I would.

Eivind (like the Terrible) finished reading Våre kamper by Jonas Bals
Lærte mye om antifascisme i mellomkrigstida både i Norge og andre i hovedsak europeiske land. Det er en lang bok, men det er veldig dagsaktuelt stoff.
Sammen med Gerhardsen og Tranmæl er Hambro, som antagelig vies større plass enn dem begge, den store antifascistiske helten i denne framstillinga. I en periode virker han å være nærmest den eneste borgerlige stemmen som kjemper mot en borgerlig-fascistisk allianse. Jeg tipper Bals har hatt veldig lyst til at noen av dagens borgerlige politikere skulle plukke opp boka og ta til seg dette, men det kommer de jo ikke til å gjøre. Det finnes ingen Hambro som advarer mot å gå i allianse med ytre høyre i dag.

Really enjoyed this one
5 stars
This was a fun book, it kind of went between space opera and mil-sf, two genres that I generally like quite a bit, had a lot of fun with this one, it's well written, and I really liked the characters :D
