mmdybs 's review for:

The Flight of the Eisenstein by James Swallow

👍

A little slow on the get go and some silly grammatical errors here and there but it's a fun ride once you get past the first third or so. Lots of juicy action packed drama as they make the Titular Flight the fuck away from all their evil brothers.

The focus here is a lot tighter with less PoV's and places to track which works really well for this story. I found myself missing some of the original cast but Garro's a good stand in for Loken when you need some stoic hero to swing his steel balls around in between their private moments of doubt and reflection. They're all angry space men at the end of the day anyway.

Also WHY did they pretend like Rogal Dorn never heard of Loken when they met in the first book???? He recommended him to the Mournival! Come on man. They did him so dirty 😡
