I am a huge fan of romance and I've heard good things already about Polaris Rising so it's on my to buy radar, but Loch sounds like a ridiculous OTT man I am going to be swooning after with his utter ridiculous. Sure, I'll probably roll my eyes, but I'll still be totally sucked in by it all. It sounds brilliant.Becky Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938602345709426466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-84231064141124327762019-03-04T08:22:04.817-08:002019-03-04T08:22:04.817-08:00This one is now solidly on my TBR!!This one is now solidly on my TBR!!S.

It's between this and John Scalzi's The Consuming Fire. We listened to the first, The Collapsing Empire (after reading your review) on this same drive a few trips ago. The audio was great! Wil Wheaton narrated. You know, the kid from Star Trek The Next Generation? Him. Have you read The Consuming Fire yet?

I'm struggling to finish it. The world building is interesting, I enjoy the banter and snark quite a bit. But the romance... I've definitely fallen on the side of too much. It just seems to interrupt the story.<br /><br />"as if every prominent male in the story has to be a smoldering badass. " LOL, I agree.

That is definitely an accomplishment. Loch sounds like a typical bad boy-vibe in books though? It sounds like this is a first book in a series, so maybe he'll be more vulnerable in the future? Maybe there's even a story to his baddest of bad. :DSophia @ Bookwyrming Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08649156623055831699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-19100407158090854132019-02-28T08:57:56.529-08:002019-02-28T08:57:56.529-08:00I really enjoyed this novel and I can't wait t...I really enjoyed this novel and I can't wait to read more!Mellianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406103812986322082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-19937696106051822272019-02-28T08:57:31.162-08:002019-02-28T08:57:31.162-08:00Fantastic review, Greg!
