clubpenguin 's review for:

4.0

It's good. The Siege of Terra continues to be more table setting than plot advancing through two books. There's a little more meat to this one but you're still spending not enough time with too many characters to build deep investments. Katsuhiro's story is the strongest in the book while Angron gets less time than Skraivok who got less time than Layak who got less time than Abaddon etc.

It is entertaining. It helps set the reason for future events quite well but some of that is simply a contorted effort to invent reasons why the future we already know unfolds as we know it will. But that's okay because the book is largely admirable in this effort. It just leaves a lot to The First Wall to deliver on all the set building the first two books have done for it.
