A review by nathuffman97
Wheel of the Infinite by Martha Wells
4.0
After reading and loving all of Martha Wells' Murderbot books, I've been slowly working my way through her back catalogue, and so far it seems she can't go wrong. This book has an interesting world, cool characters, exciting plot, unique elements, good romance-- what more can you ask for?
There are so many unique elements here and the characters are all great. Lots of interesting side characters as well as cool main characters who are strong but whose power comes with strings. Very neat and well done. I also really appreciate that Wells doesn't feel the need to drag everything out into a five-book series where each book is 1000 pages long. There's a lot of worldbuilding that she manages to fit onto the page even though the book is pretty action packed. The backstories of the characters are conveyed succinctly and she doesn't waste time on too much exposition. Right from the beginning we jump straight into the story and kind of figure the rest out as we go. It's very well done and makes for a smooth reading experience. A+, would recommend. Not brilliant, but very very solid.
