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

Breathing some fresh air into the series.

This was a nice different one that made the series not feel as stale as it was starting to feel, it was a nice ending, and it was good to see a relationship between a more mature feeling couple than many of the others.

Decent book, grew tired of the premise

Fun book A bit shallow, but fun

This isn't a deep story, it's not a story that makes you reconcider your life, but it's a fun read and a comfortable place to travel away from the world for a while.

Some variation into the series

As much as I liked the two first ones in the series it was starting to get a bit stale, so it's nice when this one is a bit different, now I'm not quite sure if all the different succeded, but most of it did, so it was a fun read.

Good book, kind of hard to keep going

I don't know why, but I struggled a bit with this one, I don't know if it is that it leans more into the fantasy rather than sci-fi, or if it is something else, the book is decent, I think I just may be a bit tired of the schtick of the series for some reason.

Fun book, with a kind of shady look

Hah, this is one where I'm happy that I'm an ebook reader, for some reason this is the title that made me feel kind of like it would be one I would maybe not be quite comfortable with reading in public if I didn't read it on an ebook.

Enjoyable, but not quite sad that this series is done

It was pretty fun, but I don't know, I'm not sure if I'm that into the alienness, the books have been fun with some glimpses of great. Onto something new.

Fun book

I really enjoyed this one, it's a step up from the last one, and it's just a fun world that is a lot of fun to follow the drama in, this series is just really enjoyable to me.

A fun adventure scifi

This has been a fun Adventure/ Puply sci-fi, short on the romantic stuff, but it's quite interesting, I've liked it so far at least. Still quite a bit to go.

Quite enjoyed this one

This one was a fun one, more military like in the beginning, and it was not as rushed towards the end as the first one, quite enjoyable.

reviewed Love Code by Ann Aguirre (Galactic Love #2)

Ann Aguirre: Love Code (2021, Independently published)

Another heartwarming story

Like the first one in the series, this one was quite heart warming it seems like the author is really good at writing those heart warming moments, the rest of the story gets sorted out pretty fast, it does feel a bit like she made this series to experiment and think of different possible anatomies, which makes it a bit weird at points, but some times weird is interesting :)

Fun sci-fi romp

I think this one was fun, it was about 50:50 story and romance, and I quite enjoyed them both, the sex scenes felt a bit awkward, but all in all, a fun book.
