Good review for Marseguro at Fantasybookspot
A new review of Marseguro has just popped up at Fantasybookspot, and it’s a good one: they gave it 8/10.
Highlights:
Portraying people at their worst and their best, this book challenges readers to revisit their first impressions…Characters face issues of nature vs. nurture, the effects of bullying and the deep seated threads of prejudice, yet readers do not need to acknowledge any of this to enjoy Marseguro…
I liked this book more than I thought I would when I first picked it up. The author was constantly surprising me, which doesn’t happen often, twisting the usual sci-fi conventions into more than just a shoot ‘em up space opera. Edward Willett has created people, personalities with belief systems and misguided judgments who make mistakes in trying to do what they believe is right…I look forward to the release of the sequel to Marseguro, Terra Insegura, later on next year.
Nice to hear!
