The series starts losing steam, but this one was still fun.
Rated Task Force Hammer 8/10
As always, can't wait for the next one.

If you still had any sympathy for Facebook left, this will properly kill that completely. Great behind-the-scenes read!

Rated The Mercy of Gods 10/10
Not as "fun" as the Expanse series. MUCH more serious. Much more grim.<br/><br/>But the writing is poetic. The story is FASCINATING. Can't wait for the next one!
Rated Colony Three Mars 6/10
I was done with the series after this one. Decent action, but I felt that the story got pretty played out.
Rated Service Model 8/10
Fascinating. Not super fun. At times silly.<br/>Clearly a cautionary tale.<br/>Certainly fascinating. Very well written.<br/><br/>Still...pondering what I think about it...
Rated The Lost Metal 8/10
Read all of these books. So fun. Such a great ride.
Rated The Alloy of Law 8/10
Sanderson rocks. A very fun ride. Great characters. Great pacing. Funny, exciting, at times scary.<br/><br/>Wild West + magic is a great combination.
Rated The Anvil of Dust and Stars 6/10
Listened to it. Pretty fun. Excited to listen to the next one, but sadly no more audio books.
Rated Our Mathematical Universe: My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality 6/10
I tried really hard, but I don't think I'm smart/patient/knowledgeable to hold on to the last 1/3 of the book.<br/><br/>The first 2/3 was great. A set of great discussions about gravity and quantum mechanics – firmed up a bunch of my understanding.<br/><br/>The rest was just – hard. If you took a lot of college physics – or you're just adventurous, give it a try.

Rated We Are Legion (We Are Bob) 10/10
Right on the edge of 4-5. Because it's kinda dorky. Reminds me a lot of Ready Player One.<br/><br/>But it's super fun. The "situations" – no spoilers – are exciting. <br/><br/>Looking forward to the next one.
