Zoe's Tale by John Scalzi

3.0

Zoe's tale is a retelling of the Last Colony novel by John Scalzi. It's narrated from the point of view of a teenage girl that was instrumental in the previous novel. Instead of the more mature themes of Old Man's War this novel reads like young adult fiction, which is pretty much what it is. As a young adult story it is quite entertaining although the dialogue is repetitive some times and the characters are not that strong in my opinion. Overall I enjoyed the novel and it did help me freshen up on the Old Man's War novels that I last read in 2009.
