I couldn't deal with the stupid genius any more. Nor his wife. It's a shame because I loved the premise, but the two main characters were too much too handle. Thank goodness it was Kindle Unlimited!
**Minor spoiler alert.** I was so looking forward to Book 2, Riddle, but you lost me when Chandler showed up in that warehouse. I hate the vile man and hoped we'd heard the last of him in Book 1. He reminded me so much of all the bullies in my life but mostly the thoroughly vile and evil Donald Trump. I just couldn't stomach continuing the book and stopped reading at this point. And so, I say a sad goodbye to James, Emma, Alie, unborn baby No. 2, Oscar, Harry, Fowler, Charlotte, Min, et al. I ca...
While I loved The Long Winter, the Solar War just didn't do it for me. I've had this before with AG Riddle. I love the first books in his series and then fail to connect with the follow-ups. Abandoned at 44%.
How to review this... I’m enjoying the whole concept of the series as I don’t read much sci-fi and I was getting a bit jaded with my usual stuff and I don’t care about plausibility in sci-fi, you can get away with just about anything and it was all so different, etc etc. BUT, most of the book was just so damn bleak. It was hard to read because of that alone. The grid is back and one of its agents informs James that humans must leave earth or they will be obliterated. No much if a choice is it? T...
The first book of trilogy was "OK". The Solar War turned south in the first chapter and got worse. I finished the last 60% in 20 minutes by just reading the last paragraph of each chapter. And, I could still follow the storyline. The premise that an alien civilization would wipe out nearly all of humanity did not make sense. #1 Why? There is NO logical reason. #2 What an awful story! I don't want to read only about death. This book could have been condensed by 90% and still have been too long. D...
Totally agree with the other reviewers. The Long Winter was good overall despite a few plot holes but A.G. Riddle flounders badly in this sequel. There's so much to not like in this book - Emma is particularly disappointing, the strong female commander spends most of her time laying in a bunk feeling weak and worrying about her kids. And the scenes with the kids are just so boring - how many times do we need to be told that the children played on their iPads? The science is disappointing too - R...
Page turningGreat sequel to Winter World. Survival is once again a battle. Families standing together for one common goal, life. Is the decision they make to go to another planet as earth is dying day by day, the beginning of a new world or the end of our civilization. I'm reading the last book to find out!
I was honestly hesitant about reading this series because of some of the mixed reviews I've seen for some of Riddle's other stories. I decided to go with it because it has some of my favorite tropes- winter, outer space and apocalyptic disaster. I'm glad I did too or I would have missed out on a good series. There's never a dull moment in this series which is exactly how I like it.
I really liked this follow-up to The Long Winter, but I didn't like it as much as The Long Winter because that novel spent the majority of its time in outer space, while this novel spent most of its time on the, once again, slowly freezing Earth. There was a bit of been-there, done-that to this story. Still, the Grid supplied enough surprises to keep me turning pages, and once again I pre-ordered the third and final installment of this thrilling and thought-provoking trilogy. I can't wait!
This is not a good book, a trend that starts before the book does.Decimate means to kill/destroy one out of ten. Authors keep using this work without knowing what it means. You can skip most of the Emma chapters and it only makes the book better.Main character keeps doing stupid things that are so obviously stupid it just becomes annoying.The entire premise of the book, the entire source of conflict is laughable. Entirely ridiculous and lazy.A series of species that have decided to upload themse...
3,000 Amazon Reviews 87% 5 and 4 stars9,000+ 4.24 ratingThis is book two in the series, start with book 1, Winter World (see my review, it was great). The Solar War picks up with Earth recovering from almost having the entire planet freeze to an extinction of everything. The bad guys (aliens are back) to finish the job.What I liked:-I did not see the second book going the way it did. With the alien influence it is more about the few survivors fighting among themselves as the world starts to free...
Fantastic Series so far! How did I not know about this author?
3.5 stars rounded up. In every sci fi series about space, there’s always that one book where they’re back on Earth and things get intense with the military. That’s this book, and I didn’t love it. Good start, pretty boring middle. While Emma’s chapters felt important in Book 1, she’s entirely irrelevant in this book. And that ending... oof. I’m intrigued, but skeptical. This has the feeling of “about to go off the deep end,” LOST style. I’m still eager to read Book 3 though!
