…and a very good value for the 1 credit I paid. My review will contain some spoilers.

****SPOILERS****
As a whole, I enjoyed the series. It dies have some issues, especially later in the series.

The 1st 6ish books are the best written. There is an overarching plot with many sub plots and each book affects the overarching plot (generally it’s the good guys get a small win and many more problems lol). However, after the 1st major arc resolves there are some issues with the writing. There are some noticeable inconsistencies– things like Vhrex & Jeneva conceived a child bit no one else did; later, there is an offhand comment about the alien males having contraception implants; then, later with no explanation PM surprises Dotty with news that she’s expecting after becoming an alien mate (but how?) and several books later there is zero discussion of it by others. Also, each book after those of the first arc are not really complete books with a defined ending. They instead have epilogues that function as endings with regards to the couple of that book. But as to the larger arc, there is never a sense of whether the heroes are getting a win or loss. Instead, each book introduces new problems, with the author literally having the characters either ignore potentially useful or problematic info (e.g., Mackey was given some critical info but as of the 2nd to last book nothing was done with it), or saying “i don’t know what it is” or “i don’t know what to do.” And this happens until the larger arc resolves. I think it is why the series begins to drag and feel repetitive after that first arc as some other commenters have noted.

That said, I still really enjoyed the people and the world. And I believe a large part of that was the narrator. He is quite talented, handling several accents and people in the same setting with the same acdent but different dialects. Was it perfect? Probably not. But the narration definitely helped carry the series past the writing flaws.

Overall, it was really enjoyable. I will be looking out for other works by this author to see if they’ve improved.
