Content warning Vague spoilers/ much complaining

The world building was real good! I like the cultures of the different planets, the notion of shareholders sending out people to get their value, the skins, etc etc

I hate all the characters, but most especially Lawrence. Simon was a horrible set of men, but at least they were interesting.

Some of the tech is too magical - Prime mainly. It lets the plot do things for dumb reasons.

I was going to give it 3 stars “ain’t mad i read it” then i read the ending.

What a stupid and ridiculous way to use time travel for a dumbfuck reason that probably hinges on lying for the rest of his life to the person he loves the most.

Review of 'Fallen dragon' on 'Storygraph'

2 stars

I really had a hard time with this book. There's a problem that comes with books that promise "action" but have to set up the world beforehand... it's easy to stuff the book full of irrelevant crap about weapons systems and neural circuitry. Every time someone thinks, it's not just thinking -- instead it's "processing with d-written neurons." It's tedious, especially when it becomes clear that the first half of the book is near completely irrelevant to the rest of the plot.

I skipped everything until I found the word "dragon" and then started reading the final 100 pages of the book, and then it was okay again.
