Confusing
Reviewed: 12-23-24
In my opinion, this was 3/4 boring, 1/4 interesting, but all seemed to be a meandering storyline!
The reader had very little variation in voice among the different characters which made it difficult to understand who was talking.

Story
Those on the side of progressing humanity through advanced technology have finally triumphed over their oppressors. The unholy war between the small but mighty island realm of Charis and the radical, luddite Church of God's Awaiting has come to an end. However, even though a provisional veil of peace has fallen over human colonies, the quiet will not last. For Safehold is a broken world, and as international alliances shift and Charis charges on with its precarious mission of global industrialization, the shifting plates of the new world order are bound to clash.

Lack of direction and progress
Reviewed: 07-11-24
I was saddened by Weber's decision both in the selection of the reader, and the loss of my expectation of this book moving on towards preparation to engage the Gababa.
This book didn't go anywhere new, just back into the political intrigue and infighting. I am so disappointed after waiting so long for this book.

Story
Crossover is the first novel in a series which follows the adventures of Cassandra Kresnov, an artificial person, or android, created by the League, one side of an interstellar war against the more powerful, conservative Federation. Cassandra is an experimental design - more intelligent, more creative, and far more dangerous than any that have preceded her. But with her intellect come questions, and a moral awakening. She deserts the League and heads incognito into the space of her former enemy, the Federation, in search of a new life.

gratuitous sex
Reviewed: 05-28-24
I bought this based on the summary and the series sale. I would not do it again, and most likely not read the other 4 books I have.
Beside the brain numbing rhetorical introspection, are the severe, nymphomaniac exhibition that the lead character constantly displays. She would bed anyone and more if around to satisfy her urges. I just got tired of listening.

Enjoyment, frustration
Reviewed: 05-15-24
I was disappointed that it didn't match the same level of organized excitement of the previous three (series) books, with the additional loss of the female reader causing a disassociation with the previous three books. Also frustrating is the author's development of the lead character to be super powerful, but then have her fail to successfully defend herself on many occasions. But the first three books, sold cheap as a series, trapped me in the story. I hope the next book is better!

Parts of the book came close to my expectations for a strong female lead, but sadly, most of the book fell far short.

Story
Spensa made it out of the Nowhere, but what she saw in the space between the stars has changed her forever. She came face to face with the Delvers, and finally got answers to the questions she’s had about her own strange Cytonic gifts. The Superiority didn’t stop fighting for galactic dominance while she was gone, though. Spensa’s team, Skyward Flight, was able to hold Winzik off, and even collect allies to help with the cause, but it’s only a matter of time until humanity—and the rest of the galaxy—falls.

I really don't like stories that constantly have the lead character being out thought and out maneuvered by the bad characters, which this book did consistently up to the very end. Bummer!

Spensa’s life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary. She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus, and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell - the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. What’s more, she traveled light-years from home as an undercover spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small planet home. Now, the Superiority - the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life - has started a galaxy-wide war.

Confusion
Reviewed: 12-15-23
I felt this story was convoluted, albeit, having some parts that was interesting, while other parts dragged on.
I felt that the author lost direction, and made something up to get back into the flow of the story line.

After listening to the first book, I was happy to get the next book. Unfortunately, for me, the second book was extremely boring, with reiteration from the first book, and even from the beginning of the second book. I am extremely disappointed.

You know you really made someone raging mad—when they try to kill you with a nuke. Michael and those who follow him had reached a temporary safe base, but now those in power know his identity. His people are in a race against time, and it's no longer a question of if they are going to be discovered—but when. Opposing them are modern-day pirates, slavers, genocidal terrorists, drug cartels, and those who rule the Earth from the shadows. And every single one of them wants to see Michael dead.
