Book Reviews of Courageous (The Lost Fleet, Book 3)
Book Review: Probably the last of this series that i'll read
Summary: 3 Stars
I read the first book in this series in one sitting. Book two went by almost as fast. Book 3 plodded, and for more than one reason.
First, the writing's just not as tight anymore.
Second, some of the primary characters are becoming simpler instead of more complex as the series continues (other reviewers have covered this in depth, so i'll leave it be).
Third, Geary's internal conflict with Black Jack is getting a bit worn out.
And fourth, in this book i really felt like half of every page was spent reminding readers of the events of the previous two books. I do understand the importance of refreshing a reader's memory in a series, and of making every book accessible to someone who, for reasons i'll never understand, picks up a book mid-series and expects everything to make sense. But when it gets so chronic that a continuing reader can't get through it all, something's gone amiss.
I'll probably track down book four in a bookstore some day to read the first chapter and find out what happens after the pseudo-cliffhanger ending of book 3, but i'm not going to pay $7.99 for a rehash of the first three books, plus a few bonus scenes.
