morrican 's review for:

Agent to the Stars by John Scalzi
3.0

Read years ago and just remember really liking it, but I think I thought it was more like Year Zero. So after finishing a re-read of year zero, I immediately read this.

It isn’t great. It isn’t bad but I just can’t get over characters doing completely unbelievable things for the sake of exposition. And there was quite a bit of that.

Interesting premise but very dated gender tropes and way too much tell, not show. Ok, but nothing more.
