Smashwords book reviews by WabbitSeason

  • Black Jack Justice: Dead Men Run on March 18, 2018

    If you're a fan of Black Jack Justice and have read this book, you'll probably agree with me that it deserves 5 stars. If you're a BJJ fan and haven't read this book yet, what in screaming blue heck are you waiting for? The books are full of banter and mystery like the podcast, but feature a more in-depth look into the thoughts and lives of the characters I've come to love so much. This book is a treat not to be missed for any fan, and if you're not a fan yet, there are 72 free episodes _and_ a free audiobook waiting for you in the Decoder Ring Theatre podcast :)
  • The Enemy of an Enemy on April 03, 2018

    Vincent Trigili manages to deliver a story that is thrilling, surprising at times and yet safe to read for more sensitive people like yours truly, showing that plot twists can be pulled off in a clean way. There's also room for personal growth of the characters and, with them, the reader. The first Smashwords free book that convinced me to purchase the sequel!
  • The Lost Tales of Power: Volumes 1-3 on April 09, 2018

    Reading the (free) first book in the series convinced me to buy this to find out how the story went on. I was not disappointed. New characters, new revelations, new adventures, all in all new goodness from the same place where Enemy of an Enemy came from. If you liked the first book, buy this! If you haven't read it yet, go get it for free! I'll be buying and reading part 4-6 next :)
  • The Lost Tales of Power: Volumes 4-6 on April 21, 2018

    Bought this after enjoying parts 1-3 and was not disappointed :). Lots of character growth, new perspectives and revealing of new parts and dynamics of the universe Vincent Trigili has created. I really like the road Spectra and Dusty take through books 4 and 6. Good stuff!
  • The Bright Black Sea on May 04, 2018

    This is incredible! The book starts out as if it was written around 1900, but don't be fooled, it becomes so much more! Kept surprising me til the end. Lots of action, likable and well-drawn characters, twists and turns in the plot, a lovable anti-hero as a main character, witty jokes ("Meow!"), shipboard life, space mysteries, so much to love! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this :)
  • Persister: Space Funding Crisis I on May 16, 2018

    Reading this was... interesting? Surprising? I don't really know how to describe it. Some parts of the book allow the reader to briefly entertain the illusion that the story even remotely resembles a normal SF work. The rest appears mostly to be the author indulging in pondering the field of cultural evolution and making fun of the academic world surrounding it. With success, as far as this layman can judge. At least it made me laugh out loud on various occasions. The scene in Sura's lab, however, was unexpectedly thrilling. All in all, it appears to me that there is true writing talent at work here, albeit in the service of... well, venting would be my best guess. Still, I have been entertained, my horizons were broadened slightly, and I have been strengthened in my conviction that I dodged a bullet by avoiding academic research as a career. I tip my hat to you!
