This is one of those stories that afterwards lingers and makes you rethink how you see the world. It took me a while to get into the story but then it flew. Captain Kel Cheris is disgraced by unconventional tactics; her chance to redeem herself is to host the mind of long-dead tactician Shuos Jedao ...

It was nice to see him before he'd been imprisoned in the Black Cradle, and inside someone else's head: he was much freer in so many ways, and it almost felt like a guilty pleasure, especially knowing what would happen to him later. I will devour anything this author writes in this universe, pret...

I continue to love this series: this is a completely different book, because character development and plot have forced this to be different. This world calls for a different book, just as the next book will be a different animal due to necessity. Yoon Ha Lee has created an all too real world th...

Can I give this all the stars? No, only five? Okay, then. So I think that the lazy/sloppy world building reviews kept me from finishing this. I thought they were rational and well thought out arguments, and they make me think about how I approach and read books. And how others will appro...

Once I was past those first few chapters, I was pretty much glued to the book. Cheris is a fairly low-ranking infantry officer in the Hexarchy who is u...

I liked this book quite a bit, but I stumbled through the first 20% wondering if I had massively misunderstood the end of the last one. Because all of the narrators are new to the story and are quite certain of something I recalled being not true. It's a very strange thing to have a major reveal i...

Superb, high intensity plot with wildly interesting world building and compelling characters. This audiobook is great. I bought the sequel as soon as I finished it. Based on reviews I had read, I expected to be lost for a few chapters, but this was not the case. I was hooked from page one. Maybe ...

Raven Stratagem by Yoon Ha Lee Ninefox Gambit was one of the best books I read in 2016. Raven Stratagem might be even better. This whole series is utterly, gloriously, astoundingly brilliant. Welcome to the world of the hexarchate, where total participation in rigid ritual not only keeps control...

There are some books that demand your full attention and dedication to reading the monster, but they pay off in the end. They’ll never be books you rave about, but you’re glad you read them for one reason or another. (Aurora, 2312, etc.) And there are books like Ninefox Gambit. They demand full atte...
