Ranyk and his sister Sckiik are from the planet Rildj. They live and work on Earth. Well, Ranyk sorta does since he does terraforming of planets, so he’s not around all that much. Sckiik is some kind of secret agent protecting the Rildj Ambassador from being assassinated.

This is a confusing book that travels at warp speed. It’s hard to keep up with the snappy dialogue and the various plots going on don’t seem to have much in common. The science is boring to me, there’s very little background, so I was kinda just dropped into the story and I just couldn’t get into it. Maybe at some point I’ll give this another go, but not any time soon.

DNF at 20%. I just can't get into this one. It's confusing.

Robin Hood is the leader of his gang, the Underthieves. They get orders from Grandma of what things to steal and then they take turns wearing the girly red hood to deliver the goods to her. This time, it’s Robin’s turn to wear the hood and he’s none too happy about it, but does it anyway. What should be a piece of cake delivery turns out to be anything but.

Not terribly well-written, but not awful either. A cute, quick, middle grade fairy tale retelling that has a bit of a twist there toward the end. Melding Robin Hood with Little Red Riding Hood is clever and the twist is a surprise. I would read more of this series.
