Ninth City Burning
Ninth City Burning | J. Patrick Black
Centuries of war with aliens threaten the future of human civilization on earth in this gripping, epic science fiction debut... We never saw them coming. Entire cities disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving nothing but dust and rubble. When an alien race came to make Earth theirs, they brought with them a weapon we had no way to fight, a universe-altering force known as thelemity. It seemed nothing could stop ituntil we discovered we could wield the power too. Five hundred years later, the Earth is locked in a grinding war of attrition. The talented few capable of bending thelemity to their will are trained in elite military academies, destined for the front lines. Those who refused to support the war have been exiled to the wilds of a ruined Earth. But the enemy's tactics are changing, and Earth's defenders are about to discover this centuries-old war has only just begun. As a terrible new onslaught looms, heroes will rise from unlikely quarters, and fight back. From the Hardcover edition.

Mehso-so

Just finished this book a few days ago, and to be completely honest this was a big disappointment to me. I really enjoyed the idea of this book but to me this book sufferers from having as many characters as it has. Some of them could have been combined together and it would have opened the book to focus on a few main characters. I think this book had a lot of promise but didn't quite live up to it. Witch is a disappointment to me.

My progress on this book has not changed in 3 weeks. I think it might be time to call it quits....

On to my next read for #tbrbingo! The 3x3 square is really working for me! I'm starting to catch up on all my reading. What I do is read the ones I've requested through NG or EW and mark them off. For each set of 3, I select a book from my request pile. :D

Alieninvasion am Valentinstag schreit doch irgendwie nach kitschigen Herzchen und viel roter Farbe als Deko, oder? oder? 😎

Alieninvasion on Valentines Day begs for cheesy red hearts as props 😂

Loved this! I think the pace bogged down a bit in the middle, but overall a great read.

My sci-fi shelf is just a stack of spooky! I loooove sitting on my porch in the fall, reading high fantasy and science fiction to distract from my death by allergies. What does your fall reading look like?

I was just sent this one to pre-read from Penguin, but it has a timer on it. Never experienced a limited time ebook, have you? Came from First to Read from Penguin

MrBook I know with Kindle sharing/borrowing services between users they've implemented limited time borrowing. 8y
Titania If you need a workaround to the time limit, you can put your device on airplane mode (so it can't connect with the internet) until you're finished. Just FYI. :-) 8y
NerdyRev Good idea! 8y
TheLondonBookworm @Titania love the workarounds 😂 8y

Just got this arc in the mail. RED RISING + STARSHIP TROOPERS + ENDERS GAME sounds right up my alley. 😄

BookFreakOut Comparison to Ender's Game drew me in, book description that's reminiscent of Halo sealed the deal! This looks awesome! 😁 9y
SeanEasley It was the Red Rising comp that got me. This sounds great. 😆 9y
Scott_BookInvasion What's your final verdict? Does it stand up to the hype? 8y
