I did quit reading this one about half a year ago because I got really enough of the sappy empathy bait start, it really felt like a cheap shot for no real reason. I was not a big fan of about the first 3rd of the book, but it got better as it went, so in the end it was quite an okay read. I think I will go on to the next one to see if the writing keeps on getting better, or at least stays on the level that it was at the end of the book, all in all, I don't know.

I had this lying around, the whole series actually that I got some time, not really expecting much of it as I already put it aside once, the part I read yesterday was okay enough, lighthearted mostly, and it seems like it was less sympathy bait for the mc at least, so I guess I will give it a try and see what I think.

The story is pretty good, the characters are pretty good, the writing is okay, but the thing that really brings this one down is that I really don't enjoy the MMC, they are manipulative, pushing borders, overbearing and just in general imposing and there are red flags everywhere, just keep away, don't do this is what goes through me eall the time in my head, and what is pictured as a good relationship just seems like a highway to spousal abuse city. Also it doesn't help that the whole relationship feels kind of childish, but, well, I'm not really thinking that even most of the romantic books I read will have a realistic relationship, but it might be that I've had a way better hit rate with what I've read than what I've thought.

This is a great book for me, the characters that we got to know in book one are clear and I already like them, so we go off to a part of the story that is built on comraderie and exploration, on being together, and not losing sight of what is novel and interesting.

The language parts are toned down a bit from the first ones, but it still managed to be a believable and interesting part of the book.

It gets a bit more spicy in this book than the first one, but not really much over the level of ya, could do with a little bit more of that.

I found it hard to put this one down, the characters just spoke to me, the world just feels so believable and lived in, it just really worked for me.

I really loved this one, it was a great sci-fi story in pretty close quarters, it really did language good, something that a lot of sci-fi does not do well at all. The descriptions of the lonliness and isolation that you often get when learning languages where very vivid, and the characters were some that I really get to enjoy, I really loved this book.

Feeling quite excited about this one, from the start of it at least it's nice to see a story that focuses on a linguist, and it really feels so far at least that this is a book for once that deals really well with linguists and language.

I don't know there is something about this one that I don't like as much as the other ones of the author, the love story is good, but there is something that feels so bleak about the universe that they live in that puts me off.

Fun book, with quite a driving plot, but the male love interest was really not that interesting, it's what my bias was of romance books before I read them, he's strong and beautiful, and so strong, and stoic, and did I mention that he's so beautiful. There is nothing there really other than him being strong and beutiful and stoic, and beautiful, and it's just a bit much.

Apart from that the book was quite good, I enjoyed most of the characters that weren't that strong stoic and beutiful. :p

This was such a sweet story, I really enjoyed this book, the series has been really great, not as dark as the main series, but I do think that without all the background and connection to the characters made in the first 8 books it wouldn't be as enjoyable as it is to me :)

This was nice, it was quite different from the rest in the series while still keeping things rather similar, which was enjoyable. There was a lot of words that felt a bit weird in the beginning, but you get used to that when you read quite a bit of sci-fi

Very enjoyable, and a lot less dark than the main series.

Well, I've had so many not enjoyable novellas in a row that I will be DNFing this one, I've found myself procrastrinating from reading, so it's time to cut the sunk costs.

Taking a little break from two long series to read some series of old novellas, I remember quite liking some of these old packs before, usually they are a bit uneven and have some good, some weird and some bewildering, and you certainly have to deal with some dated langauge and themes, but well.

I did enjoy that this one is quite different to the first two books in the series, but still clearly in it, it was really quite an enjoyable one.
