Delightful
I thoroughly enjoyed Tank's story, as I do everything Gail writes, but this one brought a little extra joy to my subbie heart to find us so gently presented. Thank you for that, Gail.

This book is just beautiful. It's full of chosen family and finding self worth and love and joy and it's all wrapped up with Gail Carriger's incomparable sense of humor. I think I love it more every time I read it. P.S.: Another audiobook triumph. ❤️

I wish there was a little more plot. The previous book felt fuller somehow, the character arcs more evenly paced. However, the romance and growing found family were heartwarming as usual. If I had to guess, I'd say Carriger has the most fun writing Max. He's just such an interesting mix of immense power and snarky asshole. Her character work in general is wonderful.

again, it’s a light smutty read and it’s entertaining. some of the magic system is confusing/disorienting but that might just be because i’ve been awake for more than 30 hours now. anyways i enjoyed the dynamic and the subverted positions were cool. can’t wait to read about colin and judd! i wouldn’t really recommend reading if you’ve come from the parasolverse because this is very different, and doesn’t really match up in my opinion. but it’s still a really fun read!

I'm so distressed to have to 3 star this book. I'm a HUGE HUGE fan of miss.carriger. She is my staple.
I didnt connect to either character. I just ....didnt. It was hard for me to get my head in his book. I did however love Max more and lord knows I LOVE MARVIN!!! 😍😍😍
The next book .....enforcer enigma ....had me salivating already tho. Judd. I like him already lol I like my men crotchety

Rating: 2.5/5
Disclaimer: I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this novel with the condition that I review it should I feel so inclined. Thoughts and opinions are my own. I would have reviewed this novel regardless of when or how I got it.
I'm generally a big fan of Carriger works, but this series has been a miss for me. That being said, the modern voice and wit Carriger uses in the San Andreas Shifters series, and in this book especially, is amazing. Also queer characters for daaaaaays! However, at the end of the day, it didn't save the book for me.
The Omega Objection needed/needs a SERIOUS developmental edit to par down extraneous characters/plot lines and develop Tank and Isaac’s characters and relationship. I kept reading until the end because I love the way Gail writes in her modern voice, and her wit had me rolling, but I was not invested in the relationship like I wanted to be.
I was invested in Isaac’s story line but not his romance with Tank. Neither Isaac nor Tank really developed much as characters by the end of the novel, and what development did occur felt rushed. The new characters that were introduced weren't fleshed out at all, which basically ruined them. All the old favorites got trotted out, but their appearances just ended up stealing the show and introducing secondary or tertiary plot lines that distracted me from the story at hand.
I feel bad tearing a Carriger book apart like this, but that’s where I’m at. I really, really wanted to like The Omega Objection; it had so much potential, and had all the right ingredients for me to love it, but in the end the mix didn't bake well and the cake was not for me. I honestly, really and truly, liked The Omega Objection better than I did The Sumage Solution, but I ended up rating it lower because of the weak characters and muddled plot.
