Where to start? Jax is a wonderfully strong character with the right amount of vulnerability. "I could counter that he's mad for loving me, but that might make him question it. And I don't want that, even though I'm afraid of hurting him, afraid of losing him. Afraid of damn near everything. But...

I got about 85% in and lost all interest. The book was making me physically tired. Maybe I'll pick it up again later.

I didn't love Wanderlust quite as much as I loved Grimspace. I felt like it was a much more depressing story, Jax spends at least 80% of the book moping around feeling sorry for herself. Granted there are some darker things going on in this book, but still. Pull up your bootstraps, carry on.I listen...

The events of Wanderlust picks up right after Grimspace. After the collapse of Farwan there is bound to be a period of unrest. Jax has the dubious honor of becoming an ambassador to visit the Ithiss-Tor and build diplomatic relations with the Conglomerate. Jax, as a character did grow in this book t...

This book is fine. Aguirre is as good as any writer I've ever read at writing action/adventure scifi. She's not so good at political stuff. And this book has a major scene that is straight out of Aliens--Newt and all. It's fine. She's an excellent writer. She needs a better copy editor. And I...

Wanderlust is a decent, if slightly disappointing sequel to the awesomeness that was Grimspace. I was more and more annoyed as I realized so much of the conflict is derived from angst of the Jax/March relationship. The action is top-notch, but not a main focus for a majority of the novel. It's a sha...

I really liked the first book in the Sirantha Jax series. It was fun, breezy sci-fi with a female heroine. I had some issues with the writing, but it was so fun and new that I was easily able to ignore those issues and just enjoy the story. I guess the novelty's worn off or something, though, becaus...

Wanderlust reminded me, unfortunately, of why it is I prefer stand-alones to sequels. As a follow-up to Grimspace, this book only disappoints. From the beginning itself, the story is slower, full of unnecessary details by the first third that only slow down the narration. Jax herself soon becomes ir...

I think I liked this book even more than the first one. And I loved the first one!Aguirre has a way of moving the action along at what feels like a break-neck pace without sacrificing any detail. It's a singular skill, one I envy. Jax is a great heroine, equally hard and soft, strong and so very vul...
