Star Force Origin Series: That’s it. I’m done!
Well, that’s it. I’m done. I pushed myself to read through to the last book in the main story arc of this series and I have had it.

Star Force Origin Series: Great concept, not so great implementation.
The series has a lot going for it. The writing is not bad at all. The action is quite good. However, there are indeed a fair amount of weak points. I would go as far as to say that there are some parts that are nonsensical and some that are even hugely annoying.
The Lost Aria: The best one in the series so far.
So far this was the best book in the series. Not only is there quite a bit of nice action but, as I hoped in my review of Sonata in Orionis, Minu has indeed become quite a bit of an ass-kicker.
Voyage Into Darkness: Fairly okay reading.
This is a fairly okay reading. It is however still more young adult reading than his Empire Rising series.
Voyage Home: I am a bit underwhelmed with this one.
The action in the book is not that bad although both the quality of the story, the action and the characters are nowhere near that of Empire Rising. It is not a bad book and if you are into the more “fantastic” and superficial young adult style stories you will probably find it quite good.
Firestorm: Good (mostly) installment in the series.
Bottom line, except for the ending this is a good solid military space opera and I liked it a lot.
The Price of Liberty: Good book despite another batch of constipated and incompetent officers.
This is another good book in the Empire Rising series. The British Star Kingdom is now in full war, war declaration and all, with the Indian Republic.
