The Blue-Haired Bombshell
Still ridiculous in the most amazing of ways, but some minor irks makes this the only book of the series I've given four stars to.Ah, where to start? If you've read the four books that preceded this one, there is simply no point in telling you why this is awesome. If you've not read the other four and have arrived here, stop, and go find book one. So, what are my thoughts on book five? Here they are:World: Nuts. Ridiculous and fun. It is a parody and it is a satire so you know some things will offend for those without a funny bone. It's more of the same world building I've come to love from Zakour. We get a glimpse of the moon this time and it is a fun local with a whole new canvas for Zakour to paint so, for me, this was the highlight of this book.Story: It's a SF/Hard Boiled/Comedic/Satire/Parody story. It's paced like a movie, it's written like a movie. What does that mean? It's awesome fun. Leave your logic at the door and you will have fun. The story this time is pretty much what you expect from the rest of the series. Characters: Fun, over the top, ridiculous, sarcastic and snarky. All those things makes for wonder banter and characters. I've been around these characters for five books now so they are close and dear to me. I never get tired of Harv and his remarks. The only thing that made this book fall to four stars are the new cast members. I found them to be too similar and too many that it somewhat convoluted the plot a bit. It's a minor thing but it did make me enjoy this book less.Still super fun to read, if you have a sense of humour and understand where Zakour is coming from. I will continue to swear by this series, if you just want to check your brain and enjoy a mindless fun ride.Onward to the next book!
