Princess Gizel Series Books 2 to 5 – Not without issues but I really liked this series.
Obviously I like this series. It is a mix of space adventure and military science fiction. Good heroes, good story, some space fleet action, a lot of running around (a lot of it undercover) kicking bad guys behinds and some not too intrusive romance.
Welcome to my personal hobby blog where I ramble about books, movies, computers, gadgets and anything else that I felt like rambling about.
Please note that this is just a hobby for me and these are my personal opinions about various subjects. I do not aspire to be a professional reviewer so if you do not like my opinions that’s too bad but there are surely other blogs out there for you in that case.
And below you find the latest ramblings in chronological order…

The Princess & the Privateer – Nice space adventure.
Although it has quite a military setting I would say it is more a swashbuckling space adventure (yes there are pirates) than pure military science fiction. Read more
-
Opus X: Fleet of One – Generally a good series but with some issues.
Overall this is a good series. I quite liked reading it. Obviously since I finished the entire series of six books. But… Read more
-
Prince Dominator – Great military space opera.
Of the eight books in this series four of them got four star ratings and four of them five star ratings from me. Needless to say I really like this series. Read more
-
Clue Krewe – Another good one.
24 books and still going strong. This is one of the few book series that has managed to keep my interest for such a large number of books. Read more
-
Galactic Heritage – Unbelievable nonsense.
This one was pretty bad. The book blurb sounded like my kind of story but the implementation was just a bundle of unbelievable nonsense. Read more
-
The Burning World – Puts this series back on track.
It is the same good writing as in all of this authors books (even the ones I do not like for various other reasons). Read more
-
Freedom and Loyalty – Not bad but I liked the first one better.
This book continues from where the previous book left off. I quite liked the first book. This one, well it is not bad but I liked the first one better. Read more
-
Dead Weight – Same as the previous four books, not great but not bad either.
Well, this one was pretty much the same as the four other books in the series. What I said in my review of those four books pretty much goes for this one as well. Read more
-
Battle of the Wilds – Another good one.
This is my kind of space opera. Huge space battles. Well written and plausible science, heroes, competent military commanders, well done characters etc. etc… Read more
-
Moon Matador – I whish the author would tone it down a bit.
This started of as a nice little ghost mystery for Samantha to solve. Read more
-
Gone Nova – Still a good book but…
This is a good book. I quite enjoyed it. Read more
-
Technomancer books 1 to 3 – Not quite rubbish but not very good either.
Unfortunately there’s not a shred of science in these books. It is science fantasy at best. Star Wars appears like hardcore sci-fi compared to this. Read more
-
Fleet Mage Academy – I quite liked this one.
I have to say that I quite liked this book. Read more
-
Vampire Deep – Decent urban fantasy P.I. story.
Overall this series has been a fairly reliable urban fantasy P.I. story. Socker mom Samantha Moon goes about her socker mom business while also running her P.I. business solving cases with a supernatural twist. Read more
-
Implacable Resolve – Better than the previous one.
This books is back to what has been the norm for most of the books in this series after a bit of a dip with the previous book. That is around four out of five stars. Read more
-
Order of Scion Book 1 & 2 – Interesting story.
This is one of those books where I really felt I had to read more than the first book in the series before reviewing it. The first book did a lot of setting up but it kind of ended just when we got to the real story. Read more
-
Undercity – Okay book.
This was a okay book. It had a fair amount of things that I liked and a few that I did not like as much. Read more
-
Legacy of Empire – Good, fun space adventure.
It is a good, fun space adventure. The type of simple but enjoyable story that could work nicely as a TV-show script. Read more
-
Elemental – Surprisingly good for being a Disney movie these days.
Overall it was movie that me as well as my (now adult) kids enjoyed. Read more
-
To Challenge Heaven – Great military space opera.
This books has a nice mix of everything including plenty of action and alien take downs, good characters, technological advancements and a few twists. Read more
-
The Worst Detectives in the Federation – Fun read.
It is a fun book to read though. Light reading with likable main characters and a pleasant mix of adventure, thriller, quite a lot of humour and action. Read more
-
Lost – A good story ruined by woke rubbish.
This is a perfect example of a writer that can actually write good books but totally ruins them by pushing woke bullshit down the readers throat. Read more
-
The Vampire and the Case of the Wayward Werewolf – Quite good urban fantasy.
Bottom line though, I quite liked the book and I am quite eager to see how Bunny and the story develops. It might not be the strongest four star book I’ve read but still, a four star it is. Read more
