Hi Cara,
Today review is Blindspace by Jeremy Szal. Blindspace is the 2nd book in The Common. The first book in the series is Stormblood.
Vakov Fukasawa is a Reaper. An elite soldier injected with a dangerous drug called stormtech: the DNA of a genocidal alien race, the Shenoi. It makes him stronger, faster, more aggressive. At a price.
A price that, if the House of Suns cult isn't stopped, all of humanity will have to pay.
Vakov saved his estranged brother from the cult and killed their leader. Now they want his head on a spike, and they're hunting him and his friends down to get it, while continuing their mission to awaken the Shenoi and plunge the galaxy into mindless violence and chaos. There's a dangerous journey ahead, but Vakov and his misfit crew of eccentric aliens, troubled bounty hunters and rogue hackers will take any risk to stop the alien awakening. Only there's one risk Vakov hasn't shared: the one he himself poses. He got a terrifying glimpse of the Shenoi in the depths of interstellar space, and the violent nightmares he's suffered since suggest their DNA isn't just inside his body - he might already be fighting them for his mind
(Synopsis from Goodreads.com)Â
Blindspace is an action-packed sequel.Â
PLOT: A lot happens in Blindspace, from the action, the world-building. As well as finding out more about the Stormtech and the beings behind it. A strong element in Blindspace is the relationship between the characters especially between Vakov and his brother Artyom.Â
CHARACTERS: I like how weird the main cast of characters are. And they are embracing their weirdness. As well as growing as they have more responsibilities.Â
WRITING STYLE: Jeremy style is energetic and it's great at making your heart race.
OVERALL: A enjoyable action-packed Sci-fi book with heart and a great cliffhanger.
My rating for Blindspace is 3.8 out of 5.
