Passage at Arms (Starfishers Series #4) Book

☠ This Buddy Read Never Happened Because Glen Cook Doesn't Write 3-Star Books So QED and Stuff Buddy Read (TBRNHBGCDW3SBSQaSBR™) with My Dearest of Wives, The Sometimes Wise Canadian One, The Prodigal Mercenary and The Ex Noob ☠

I really wanted to love read this book. But you know how it goes, you get all caught up in a super fluffy Historical Romance, and you end up not having time for wondrous Science Fiction by Glen Cook. Life sucks. So much trash to read, so little time and all that crap. Anyway, had I read this book, I'm pretty sure I would have fangirled about it like a 13-year-old maniac. Because Glen Cook is a God. Glen Cook is Amazing. Glen Cook NEVER disappoints. Therefore, I highly doubt this book could have been anything less than slightly marvellous. "Why the 3-star rating then," you ask? Oh well, you know me, I love to be fair and stuff, so I thought I'd go for a kinda sorta Average if Slightly Inaccurate Hypothetical Rating (AiSIHRâ„¢) and stuff. But had I, you know, loved read the book and stuff, there's a good change I would have gone for a 10-star rating instead. Because this is, you know, Glen Cook and stuff. And he is, you know, a God and stuff.



Okay, so I can't tell you just how obviously scrumptious this book obviously is because, you know, I didn't love read it and stuff BUT I sure can tell you how obviously disheartening it obviously ISN'T because, you know, there are no such silly things as disillusionment and disenchantment in Most Glorious Glen Cook Wonderland (MGCGWâ„¢). Sooooo, with that in mind, here is a quick list of all the things that it is impossibly impossible for this book to be:

â‘  This book cannot be boring. Oh no, absolutely not. It most certainly is thrilling, exciting, and absolutely riveting from beginning to end. How could a story about captivating daily life aboard an overcrowded submarine spacecraft not be? It's not like it could be like a big, fat nothing of a story or anything of the sort. Nope nope nope.

â‘¡ The plot cannot be plotless. Oh no, absolutely not. There must be a plot here. It is probably super plotty. And gripping. And oh so intriguing. And full of devious twists. This cannot just be about captivating daily life aboard an overcrowded submarine spacecraft, can it? Of course not. Don't be silly, my Little Barnacles, this was written by Glen Cook. The Man doesn't write about such trivial, uninteresting stuff as, you know, captivating daily life aboard an overcrowded submarine spacecraft *eyeroll*

â‘¢ The characters cannot be sketchy. Oh no, absolutely not. They are probably complex and fascinating. And I am pretty sure you feel an instant, intense connection with every single member of the wonderfully likable cast here. Especially with Fred the cat. He must be the mostest awesomest characters of them all. Because he is, you know, a cat and stuff.



â‘£ This book cannot feel like it is 500-pages long instead of 241. Oh no, absolutely not. I am sure there is so much trepidatious trepidation to be had here that the pages just fly by. Skimming skimming skimming away, begone! This is obviously the type of book you cannot put down, and read in one day flat. Definitely not the kind of book you drag around for 5 days before finally managing to turn the last page in a blaze of relieved glory. Nope nope nope.

⑤ This book cannot be the most disappointing non-conclusion to a 4-book trilogy (don't ask) in the history of most disappointing non-conclusions to 4-book trilogies (I told you not to ask!) Oh no, absolutely not. Remember what I said before? About Glen Cook being a God? So QED and stuff.

Since this book can't be all the disgustingly despicable above-mentioned things, it must be somewhat delicious. Do you now see why I decided to go for an Average if Slightly Inaccurate Hypothetical Rating (AiSIHRâ„¢)? I bet you do. Ha.

» And the moral of this Glen Cook What the Bloody Fishing Shrimp is Wrong with You Did Russia Hack You Too or Something Crappy Non Review (GCWtBFSiWwYDRHYToSCNR™) is: my dear Lord and Master of All Things Slightly Awesome (LaMoATSA™),



Obviously. Always. And forever. And stuff. Yeah, that too.

✎ Book 1: Shadowline ★★★★
✎ Book 2: Starfishers ★★★★
✎ Book 3: Stars' End ★★★ ← you never saw this. This never happened.



[Pre-review nonsense]

Are you seeing a 3-star rating up there? I knew it. You've been drinking again. Glen Cook doesn't write 3-star books, my Clueless Barnacles, he wasn't built this way! The man only writes 10-star masterpieces! Ergo, you are drunk. And we all know what happens when you get slightly inebriated and stuff, don't we, my Lovely Decapods? You don't want me to remind you of the nightmarish cat incident, do you now? Thought so.
