A new kind of bot in the Murderbot world

Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells

April 3, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

So far we’ve seen Murderbot and humans, Murderbot and other sort of sentient machines, and now it’s time to start putting those things together. Rogue Protocol picks up where book two left off as Murderbot is trying to get away from the areas where it’s dangerous to be potentially identified, and in so doing, Murderbot falls into another adventure when the transport its on turns out to have two human passengers on their way to some kind of security detail job which involves guarding some […]

Keep an Eye on Those Dragons

The Secret Chapter by Genvieve Cogman

April 3, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

There is a lot to like about the Invisible Library series: interesting premise, a heroine who is not a total stereotype, dragons and Fey, dimensional travel and trouble, adventure and fun, and some humor. The Secret Chapter is book 6 in the series and it has a lot to add to the series. The biggest add to the series is some further world building on the dragon side of things. Previous installments have built up some context for the library and the Fey, and now […]

Hero School Shenanigans

My Hero Academia: School Briefs (v4) by Kohei Horikoshi, Anri Yoshi

March 28, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I have realized something about novelizations and short story collections based on manga/anime: I prefer the episodes that don’t refer to something directly from the main series. Just for the record, stories that started as novels and then got turned into the other forms are something else entirely, not this. This is My Hero Academia: School Briefs 4. Basically it’s a series of short stories mainly linked to episodes from the manga; at least I’m pretty sure since I’m not totally caught up with the […]

Dragons and Swamp Folk Underwhelm in the Bayou

Highfire by Eoin Colfer

March 28, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I’m not sure what I was expecting with Highfire. I was introduced to the author Eoin Colfer via Artemis Fowl which I enjoyed for the first several novels, then lost interest in in the direction the series was going. I like the not entirely original premise of the grumpy powerful being (Vern the dragon) teaming up with and gradually softening to a spunky sidekick (Squib Moreau). The setting of the Bayou, presumably Louisiana, makes for interesting potential in terms of cultural lore. It’s sort of […]

Fun with Fred and Friends

Undeading Bells by Drew Hayes

March 28, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

The “yay for Drew Hayes” streak continues. Undeading Bells is book 6 in the Fred series and a lot of the fun continues. The main challenge comes in the form of the alluded to wedding of the title, between Krystal and Fred. Of course there are several obstacles to overcome before getting to the altar. There are basically 3 things the House of Fred and Fred have to work through: first, wedding planning and then pulling off the actual ceremony, Fred further working on his […]

Messing Around a Lot in the Woods

The Fifth Wards: Good Company by Dale Lucas

March 22, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

The Fifth Ward: Good Company was kind of hit or miss for me. I totally saw Rem’s big personal reveal coming a mile away, and a lot of the other characters’ reaction to it were not surprising either. Of course Indilen and Torval are going to accept it; on the one hand, I’m glad there wasn’t a lot of unnecessary drama there, but on the other, there was so little reaction it’s like all that time trying to build it up was wasted. The set […]
