ElCicco on A bit of a mixed bag (and a complete Passport!)I looked at the other reviews after I posted mine and it seems not to have gotten a lot of love here! I didn’t hate...
narfna on A bit of a mixed bag (and a complete Passport!)Oh, man, I HATED this one. It's so funny how books hit people differently.
Emmalita on “I should just follow you clowns around…Find all the trouble in the galaxy that way…”It’s very good, but it’s the second book in the series. Shards of Earth is the first book.
